Interests

The Convener (Iain Smith):

We now open the public session of the ninth meeting of the Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee in 2009. Agenda item 1 is to welcome Stuart McMillan to his first meeting. Welcome, Stuart. I hope you enjoy your time on the committee; I am sure you will find it very interesting. However, before you can participate, you will have to declare any interests that you may have.

Thank you, convener, for your welcoming comments. I have no interests to declare.

I believe that Christopher Harvie has amended his entry in the register of members' interests.

Yes. I have become a shareholder in Argyll Publishing, of Glendaruel, Argyllshire—with only Mike Russell as a neighbour.

Well, good luck on that one; that is all I can say. But thank you for making that declaration, which will be noted for future reference.

We also welcome a guest MSP this morning—Nigel Don.
