Interests

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the 12th meeting in 2018 of the Rural Economy and Connectivity Committee. I ask everyone to ensure that their mobile phones are on silent, please. Apologies have been received from Richard Lyle.

I welcome Kate Forbes to her first meeting of the Rural Economy and Connectivity Committee. I thank Fulton MacGregor for his contribution to the committee’s work. He will be missed, but I am sure that Kate Forbes will stand in well for him. As it is her first committee meeting, I invite Kate Forbes, as a new member, to declare any interests that are relevant to the committee’s remit, in accordance with section 3 of the code of conduct for members.

Thank you very much, convener. I have no relevant interests to declare.

Thank you very much.
