Interests

Good morning, and welcome to the fifth meeting in 2021 of the Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee.

Under agenda item 1, I want to welcome a new committee member who is replacing Tess White. Although she was not with us for very long, I very much thank Ms White for her contribution to the committee, and I know that she will have an on-going interest in a number of the petitions in which she was involved.

We have now been joined by Alexander Stewart. Mr Stewart, do you have any interests to declare before assuming your position?

I am delighted to join the committee, convener, and I have no interests appropriate to this committee to declare.

Thank you very much. At this point, I should tell the committee that we will be taking evidence from ministers at about 11.30.
