I welcome everyone to the 11th meeting in 2017 of the Education and Skills Committee, and I remind everyone to turn their mobile phones and other devices to silent for the duration of the meeting.
We have had a change in committee membership since the last meeting. I was sorry to see Richard Lochhead and Fulton MacGregor go, but I warmly welcome Clare Haughey and Ruth Maguire to the committee. Item 1 is an opportunity for the new members to declare any interests that are relevant to the committee’s remit.
Thank you for your welcome, convener. I am looking forward to working with the committee. I have no interests to declare.
I refer members to my entry in the register of members’ interests. I was formerly a North Ayrshire councillor.
Thank you very much.
