Good morning, and welcome to the fifth meeting in 2024 of the Rural Affairs and Islands Committee.?I ask anyone who is using electronic devices to switch them to silent, please.
Before we move to our first substantive item of business, I formally welcome our two new committee members, Emma Harper and Elena Whitham. I also take this opportunity to thank our two former committee members, Jim Fairlie and Karen Adam.
I invite Emma and Elena to declare any relevant interests.
Good morning, everybody. I have no interests to declare.
Good morning, everybody. I am not sure whether this is something to declare, but I note that I am the nature champion for the hen harrier.
I think that that is a boast rather than a declaration of interests. [Laughter.]
