Interests

Welcome to the 23rd meeting in 2010 of the Equal Opportunities Committee. I remind all those present, including members, that mobile phones and BlackBerrys should be switched off completely, as they interfere with the sound system even when they are switched to silent.

I start off with rather a long list of apologies and a special welcome to those who have made it here today. We have received apologies from Margaret Mitchell, Hugh O’Donnell, Elaine Smith, Jamie Hepburn, Stuart McMillan and Christina McKelvie.

I welcome Mary Scanlon, who is here as a substitute for Margaret Mitchell, and invite her to declare any relevant interests.

I have no interests to declare.
