Interests

The Deputy Convener (Lewis Macdonald)

Good morning. I welcome you all to the 10th meeting of the Culture, Tourism, Europe and External Relations Committee in 2017. As is always the way of it, I remind everyone to switch off all mobile phones. Any members who are using electronic devices to access committee papers during the meeting should ensure that they are switched to silent.

Apologies have been received from Joan McAlpine and Richard Lochhead.

Agenda item 1 is a declaration of interests. I welcome Mairi Evans MSP to the committee and invite her to declare any relevant interests.

I declare that I am a councillor on Angus Council, but only for another two weeks.

Aha—bailing out.

The Deputy Convener

Thank you very much. Mr Scott, your comment is duly recorded and given the weight that it deserves.

I record our thanks to Emma Harper for her work and her contributions to the committee during the period in which she served as a member.
