Good morning. I welcome everyone to the third meeting of the Education and Skills Committee in 2016 and remind everyone present to turn off their mobile phones, as they can interfere with the sound system.
The first item is to allow Richard Lochhead to declare any interests that are relevant to the committee’s work. I welcome Richard and invite him to make a declaration.
Thank you, convener. It is a pleasure to be here. I have no interests to declare officially. Unofficially, I should say that my wife is a primary school teacher and therefore may be a source of free advice, irrespective of whether I ask for it. That is the only interest that I wish to declare.
