Interests

The Convener (Ruth Maguire)

Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the 22nd meeting in 2019 of the Equalities and Human Rights Committee. I ask everyone to turn off and put away mobile devices, please. We have received apologies from Oliver Mundell and Alex Cole-Hamilton. We also have apologies from Angela Constance, who will be joining us a little later on.

I welcome Jamie Greene and Beatrice Wishart. I invite them, as new substitutes at the committee, to declare any relevant interests.

Jamie Greene (West Scotland) (Con)

Good morning, everyone. Thank you for having me along. My only relevant interest is that I am co-convener of the cross-party group on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual and intersex plus issues, whose secretariat is in receipt of public funding.

Beatrice Wishart (Shetland Islands) (LD)

Good morning. I, too, thank you for having me here. I have nothing to declare.

Thank you.
