Interests

Good morning, members. It is a lovely day out there. It is beautiful and sunny and bright and dry, which is fantastic. Welcome to the 14th meeting in 2012 of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee. I remind members to turn off mobile phones and BlackBerrys.

I will pause for a moment to let Helen Eadie take her seat.

I apologise, convener.

Welcome to the meeting.

The first item on our agenda is for our new member, Richard Lyle, who is known as Dick Lyle, to declare any relevant interests. Before he does so, I thank John Mason for his time on the committee. It was short, but he was very effective. John performed well.

I welcome Richard to his first meeting of the committee and ask him to declare any relevant interests.

Thank you, convener. I have no interests that I think I need to declare.

Thank you.
