Interests
Good morning, everyone. I welcome everyone back after the recess.
Michael McMahon is delayed, so—[Interruption.] I thought that that was him entering the room, but it is not. As he is delayed, I am in the chair for the beginning of the meeting. I welcome the Cabinet Secretary for Infrastructure, Investment and Cities, her officials and those in the public gallery to the 12th meeting of the Welfare Reform Committee. As is customary, I remind everyone to turn off their mobile phones and other electronic devices.
We have two short pieces of administrative business to take care of before we move on to the main items on our agenda.
Agenda item 1 is a declaration of interests. I welcome Iain Gray MSP to the committee. As it is your first time at the committee, Iain, I invite you to declare any interests that are relevant to the committee’s remit.
I have nothing to declare, convener.
That was brief and to the point. Thank you very much, Mr Gray.
