Interests

Good morning. I welcome everyone to the 23rd meeting of the Local Government and Communities Committee in 2008. As usual at this point, I remind everyone to switch off their mobile phones and BlackBerrys.

I welcome Rhoda Grant, who is a substitute member of the committee. I ask her to declare any interests that she may have.

I refer members to my entry in the register of members' interests and point out my membership of Unison, which might be relevant to the work of the committee.
