Interests

Good morning, and welcome to the 20th meeting in 2017 of the Finance and Constitution Committee. As usual, I remind members to switch off their phones, or at least to put them in a mode that means that they will not interfere with proceedings.

As this is the first public meeting of the committee that Alexander Burnett has attended, agenda item 1 is for him to make a declaration of interests. I warmly welcome him to the committee and invite him to declare any relevant interests.

Thank you, convener. I refer members to my entry in the register of members’ interests. Specifically, I declare an interest as an owner and manager of property including agricultural, residential and commercial lettings, recreational and sporting usage and forestry, as a shareholder in a renewable energy company and as the holder of remunerated positions in companies related to those areas.

Thank you.
