Item 2 is for each of us to declare any interests that we have that are relevant to the work of the committee. Background information is provided in the declaration of interests paper, which is paper 1.
I will start by declaring my interests then ask members in alphabetical order to do the same. I declare an interest as a director and trustee of the National Mining Museum Scotland, in view of the fact that the committee has a remit in tourism. I have no other interests to declare.
I have no additional interests other than those in my entry in the register of members’ interests, which are that I am a former councillor of East Ayrshire Council, I am a former employee of Learning and Teaching Scotland and I own a small number of shares in Kilmarnock Football Club.
I own a heritable property. I have no other interests to declare.
I am an elected member of East Lothian Council and a board member of the South East Scotland Transport Partnership.
I do not have any declarable interests. However, for the record, I draw people’s attention to my voluntary entry in the register of members’ interests, which includes financial support given to my local Labour Party by Unite the union, the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers, Unison, the Communication Workers Union, the Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen and the Transport Salaried Staffs Association.
