Good morning, and welcome to the 12th meeting in 2023 of the Constitution, Europe, External Affairs and Culture Committee. Our first agenda item is as a result of a change of membership. We again thank Jenni Minto for her service to the committee and wish her well with her new responsibilities.
We welcome Ben Macpherson, who joins the committee. I invite Mr Macpherson to make a declaration of interests.
Thank you, convener. Good morning, colleagues and witnesses. As a proud internationalist and the son of a designer, I am very pleased to be a member of the committee, and I hope to contribute positively. I refer members to my entry in the register of members’ interests. In particular, it shows that I am still registered on the roll of Scottish solicitors, which might be of interest in some evidence sessions. I also note that I served as Minister for Europe, Migration and International Development under the Cabinet Secretary for Constitution, External Affairs and Culture between June 2018 and February 2020, in case that is of relevance.
