Interests
Good afternoon and welcome to the first meeting of the Transport, Infrastructure and Climate Change Committee in the third session of the Scottish Parliament. I remind members to turn off their mobile phones and pagers because they interfere with the system. I have received an apology from Cathy Peattie, who is running late because of a plane's late arrival at the airport. We have no control over that, but we hope that she will arrive during the meeting.Agenda item 1 is a declaration of interests by members. In accordance with section 3 of the code of conduct, I invite members to declare any interests that are relevant to the committee's remit. An interest that I will have to add to my entry in the register of members' interests is that I am a member of the Dornoch rail link action group. I invite members to declare any interests.
