Interests

I welcome everyone to the fourth meeting in 2020 of the Public Petitions Committee. The first item on our agenda is a declaration of interests.

We have a new committee member, Tom Mason, who is taking over from Brian Whittle. On behalf of the committee members and the clerks, I thank Brian Whittle for all his work in his time with the committee, for the energy that he brought to that work and, in particular, for his dedication to and focus on our mental health inquiry. We wish him well.

I welcome Tom Mason. Do you have any interests to declare?

Thank you, convener, for your welcome. I draw the committee’s attention to my entry in the register of members’ interests—in particular, to the fact that I am a councillor in Aberdeen City Council.
