Interests

Good morning, and welcome to this historic occasion: the first meeting of the new Referendum (Scotland) Bill Committee, in the fourth session of the Scottish Parliament.

I remind all members that mobile phones and BlackBerrys should be switched off, as they can interfere with the sound system even when they are on silent.

I have received no apologies, and as the oldest member I will conduct this part of the business. We will go round all the members to find out whether they have any interests to declare.

I have no interests to declare.

I have no interests to declare.

I have no interests to declare.

We are a very boring lot. I have no interests to declare.

Yes—I am not aware of any interests that I need to declare.

I am not of the view that I have any relevant registrable interests to declare, but for the sake of completeness I will mention that I am a member of the Law Society of Scotland and hold a current practising certificate.

I have no interests to declare.

I have no interests to declare.

I have no interests to declare.

I have no interests to declare.

And I have no interests to declare, so we have no interests to declare.
