Interests

Good morning and welcome to the first meeting of the Health and Sport Committee in 2012. I wish you all a happy new year. I remind everyone present that mobile phones and BlackBerrys should be turned off, as they can interfere with the sound system.

Under agenda item 1, I welcome Drew Smith, who is replacing Mary Fee on the committee. I take the opportunity to thank Mary for her work since the start of session 4 and wish her every success on the Equal Opportunities Committee. In accordance with section 3 of the code of conduct, I invite Drew to declare any interests that are relevant to the committee’s remit. I remind him that any declaration should be brief but sufficiently detailed to make clear to any listener the nature of the interest.

I thank you for the welcome, convener, but I have nothing to declare.

Thank you.
