Interests
Before we begin again, I welcome Dr Richard Simpson, who is joining the Local Government Committee. I am sure that you will find it very interesting, Richard, but I am afraid that I have to ask you whether you have any interests that you need to declare.
I have no interests additional to those that I have already declared in the register of members' interests.
Thank you.
As we are in a particularly warm room this afternoon, people may take their jackets off if they feel they have to, but I would not go much further than that—at the moment, anyway. Please feel free to do that. I think that, by the time that we get to the end of the meeting, though, there might be more than jackets off.
