Interests

Good morning and welcome to the 16th meeting in 2021 of the Local Government, Housing and Planning Committee. I ask all members and witnesses to ensure that their mobile phones are on silent and that all other notifications are turned off during the meeting.

Apologies have been received from Meghan Gallacher; Murdo Fraser is attending as substitute for her. As this is Murdo’s first appearance at the committee, I invite him to declare any interests that are relevant to the work of the committee.

Good morning. I have two interests that might be relevant to the committee’s work and today’s session. I am a member of the Law Society of Scotland, although I am not currently practising, and I derive some income from two rental properties that I have an interest in, although neither of those is let on a short-term basis.
