Interests

The Convener (Kenneth Gibson)

Good morning and welcome to the 27th meeting in 2012 of the Scottish Parliament’s Finance Committee. I remind everyone present to turn off any mobile phones or BlackBerrys. I welcome to the meeting and to the committee our new member, Jamie Hepburn, who replaces Bruce Crawford. I thank Bruce Crawford for his brief but productive time on the committee. I certainly hope that Jamie lasts somewhat longer than his recent predecessor. It has been a bit like musical chairs of late.

Agenda item 1 is a declaration of interests from our new member. I invite Jamie Hepburn to declare any interests that are relevant to the committee’s remit.

I will see how it goes before I decide whether I share your hopes for a long spell on the committee, convener.

I have no interests to declare.
