 Good morning and welcome to the 12th meeting in 2022 of the Local Government Housing and Planning Committee. I would like to ask all members to ensure that their mobile phones are on silent and that all other notifications are turned off during the meeting. Our substantive business for today involves consideration of two draft reports, both of which the committee has previously agreed to take in private. However, as we have two new members attending for the first time, we are first required to meet in public so that they can declare any relevant interests, and I welcome Marie McNair and Annie Wells to the committee. The first item on our agenda is for Marie and Annie to declare any relevant interests, and I will invite them to do so in turn. Marie, I now invite you to declare any relevant interests. Good morning, convener. I declare an interest as a serving member of West Dunbartonshire Council just for a few weeks more. Annie, I now invite you to declare any relevant interests. Marie and Annie for their declaration, and at this point I would like to bring in Mark Griffin. Just to declare while we are in public that I have registered an interest in item 3 as an honour of a private entity property in North Lanarkshire. Thank you very much, Mark. As that was our only public business today, I now close the public part of the meeting.
