Interests

Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the 30th and final meeting in 2012 of the Rural Affairs, Climate Change and Environment Committee. Members of the committee and members of the public should turn off their mobile phones and BlackBerrys because leaving them in flight mode or on silent will affect the broadcasting system.

Agenda item 1 is a declaration of interests. We welcome Jayne Baxter to the committee. Do you have any relevant interests to declare?

No. I have no relevant interests to declare.

Thank you very much. We have had some personnel changes, and we hope that you, like the rest of us, will be a member of the committee for a long time. We keep having the committee’s photograph taken; we have to change it almost monthly. Let us hope that that is at an end.

We formally thank Margaret McDougall for her work as a member of the committee prior to Jayne Baxter’s arrival.
