 Good morning and welcome to the first meeting of session six of the Social Justice and Social Security Committee. I am first a child of the MSP for the Rhodian. As the oldest member of the committee, I have the pleasure of convening this meeting for the first two items of the business. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all members and I look forward to working with you all in the committee. Before we move to the first item of the agenda, I would like to remind everyone to switch your mobile phones off. I hope everyone has done that already. I have no apologies. I do not think that there is any. I will go on the agenda item first one, declaration of interest. I do not have any, so I will go alphabetically. Jeremy Balfour, do you have any? Just to point out, I am on the high rate of PIP for care. Miles Briggs. Thank you, convener. Good morning to the committee. No, I have no interests to register. Natalie Dawn. It is just to register that I am a councillor with Renfrewshire Council just in case any of the matters that we are discussing coincided with that. I have two interests. I would like to register the first of which is that I worked for Public Health Scotland until 11 May at which point I was elected and resigned the post. I am also in receipt of higher rates of personal independence payment for both the care and the mobility component. Neil Gray. Good morning, convener, and good morning, colleagues. Yes, I would need to declare the fact that I was the deputy convener of the social justice and fairness commission that was reported earlier this year. No further declarations to make. Thank you very much. Mario McLean. Good morning, convener. I have no interests to declare this morning. Emma Rowley. I would also like to declare that I worked on the social justice and fairness commission and that I am a councillor on the Highland. That takes us to the agenda item 2, the choice of convener. The committee's next task is to choose the convener. The procedure is explained in the choice of convener's talk. Is that somebody else trying to join us? As I said, I think that everybody has got paper too. The Parliament has agreed that only member of the Scottish National Party are eligible for nomination as a convener of this committee. I understand that Neil Gray is that party's nominee. Congratulations, Neil. We have our convener. I would like to hand over to Neil and I will be happy to work with him. Thank you very much indeed, Faisal. I will seek to emulate your expert chairing of this first part of our first meeting. Thank you very much indeed. I really appreciate the task that we have in hand and I really appreciate the support from colleagues to be the convener of this very important committee. I look forward to working with you all on a constructive basis to take forward the work of this committee to scrutinise some of the most important legislation that we are going to see in this session of Parliament. Thank you very much indeed. The next item for the committee is to choose our deputy convener. Similarly, following the Parliament agreed that only members of the SNP are eligible for nomination as deputy convener, I understand that Natalie John is the party's nominee for this post. I congratulate Natalie on being nominated as deputy convener. The next item of business is to decide on whether to discuss our work programme, which is an agenda item 6, in private. Are we all agreed? Does anybody wish to come in? If anybody does, please pop-ar in the box. If not, we shall move on. I think we are agreed. Agenda item 5 is the legacy paper from our predecessor committee. I would like to thank the session 5 social security committee for its legacy report. They have clearly done an extensive and detailed work during the previous session. As we are short on time at this meeting, I invite the committee to note the report for now and agree to consider it as part of a future work programme discussion. If anybody wishes to speak, I would be happy to hear that if you want to press R in the chat box just now for this item. If not, we are happy to note that. We can conclude today's public meeting. We will now move into a private session. Members should join the private meeting using the link that has been circulated by the clerks. Thank you very much indeed.
