This is our first meeting since we heard Wendy Alexander's good news. Before we start the formal business of the meeting, I want to record our congratulations to Wendy on the birth of her twins.
However, the order does not amend all the figures in section 48(4) of the act to reflect the new amounts for section 48(3). That is probably an oversight because it does not accord with previous practice.
No apologies have been received for the meeting, because we have a 100 per cent turnout.I welcome Alasdair Morgan as a new committee member and record our appreciation of Stewart Stevenson's contribution.
As regards item 1, the fact that the new member has sent his apologies means that he cannot make a declaration of interests, so we will move straight to item 2.
