Interests
Meeting date: 14 November 2023
Stuart McMillan
Good morning, and welcome to the 31st meeting in 2023 of the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee. We have received apologies from Mercedes Villalba; in her place I welcome Rhoda Grant. Before we move to the first item on the agenda, I remind everyone to switch off their mobile phones or to put them into silent mode.
The first item of business is a declaration of interests. In accordance with section 3 of the “Code of Conduct for Members of the Scottish Parliament”, I invite Rhoda Grant to declare any interests relevant to the remit of the committee.
