Interests
Good morning and welcome to the 14th meeting in 2024 of the Rural Affairs and Islands Committee. Before we begin, I remind those using electronic devices to please switch them to silent. We have received apologies from Rachael Hamilton and Ariane Burgess; I welcome Jamie Halcro Johnston and Mark Ruskell, who will be attending the meeting as substitutes. As this is Mark Ruskell’s first-time journey as a committee substitute, I invite him to declare any relevant interests.
I should declare that I have a member’s bill proposal for a “Prohibition of Greyhound Racing (Scotland) Bill”, which I am currently working on. I am an honorary associate member of the British Veterinary Association and I am also a beekeeper, which is probably of less relevance to today’s session—but you never know, it may come up.
I would not be doing my job if it did come up. Thank you, Mark.
