Good morning, colleagues, and welcome to the 22nd meeting in 2018 of the Finance and Constitution Committee. I have apologies from Tom Arthur, one of the new members of the committee. He is convening a private bill committee this morning. I welcome George Adam, who is attending as his substitute.
Under item 1, I welcome Angela Constance to the committee. I hope you enjoy your time on it. I invite you to declare any relevant interests.
Thank you, convener. I am pleased to join the committee.
I refer members to my entry in the register of members’ interests. I have no known interests that are relevant to the remit of the committee. However, in the interests of transparency around a later agenda item, I note that the Winchburgh development is not in my constituency but it is in the neighbouring West Lothian constituency, so I am very much aware of it.
It is George Adam’s first appearance as substitute at the committee, so I invite him to declare any relevant interests.
Thank you, convener. I have just checked my published statement and I have no interests that affect the committee one way or another.
There is nothing to do with St Mirren on the agenda today.
No, I do not think so.
I should have reminded people at the beginning to switch off their mobile phones or put them in a mode that will not interfere. I thank those who have just declared their interests.
