Happy new year, everyone, and welcome to the first meeting in 2015 of the Equal Opportunities Committee. I ask everyone to switch off their mobile devices or put them in flight mode. We have received apologies from John Finnie.
Agenda item 1 is a declaration of interests. I welcome to the committee our newest member, Jayne Baxter. In accordance with section 3 of the code of conduct, I ask Jayne to declare any interests relevant to the committee’s remit.
