Interests

The Convener (Bruce Crawford)

Good morning, colleagues, and welcome to the fifth meeting in 2017 of the Finance and Constitution Committee. As usual, I remind members to switch off their phones, tablets and so on, or at least to put them into a mode that does not interfere with proceedings.

Agenda item 1 is a declaration of interests. I welcome Liam Kerr MSP to the committee and invite him to declare any relevant interests.

Liam Kerr (North East Scotland) (Con)

Thank you, convener. I refer members to my entry in the register of members’ interests but, for good order, I will highlight a few items. I am a director and employee of Trinity Kerr Ltd, which is a provider of legal services; I own a flat in Edinburgh from which I receive rent; and finally I own a very small number of shares in Aberdeen Community Energy, a community group that has installed a community hydroelectric turbine at Tillydrone in Aberdeen.

The Convener

Thank you, Liam. I warmly welcome you to the committee and look forward to working with you. I express the committee’s thanks to Dean Lockhart for his time as a committee member and for the contribution that he made to our proceedings.
