 Good morning, and I would like to welcome members to the 10th meeting in 2018 of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee. Agenda item 1 is for us to welcome our new member, Tom Mason. Tom joins us to replace Alexander Stewart who I would like to thank for all of his hard work on the committee. I would like to ask Tom to declare any relevant interests. I declare that I am a councillor of the Aberdeen city council from which this salary is donated to two Aberdeen charities. I am a senior partner with the build partnership, a firm providing market and corporate advice. In addition to my home in Aberdeen, I own a share in a small cottage moor shack in the Highland local authority area. I am also a member of the certification board of the Cura, which is a food certification company, inspection company. Tom, we now move on to agenda item 2, a decision on taking item 4 in private to members agree. Agenda item 3 is for the committee to decide whether to take future consideration of the commission and the committee's draft report on a complaint in private at a future meeting. Do members agree to take these items in private? We now move into private session.
