 Wno'r cwmaffinol i chi gaelioill fy gydigion y 19 oes i'w y ddwylluchol Cymru ffordd Cymru cwrs 2014. Felly i chi'n anghyst i'n gwybod i'n gwneud o'r bwysig o'r ei chaelioedd mewn cael ei swyddi wedi amlwg ychydigol oherwydd ddweïdd, ond yn cyflasgau Cymru. Rydyn ni wedi e'n glesio'r gwaith gwaith cymru cwrs, i ddiogelio lefwyr gyda'r symud cymrydau leader Jamie Hepburn, Sannabelle Ewing a Linda Fabiani. I would like to thank those members for the service that they gave to the committee. I worked very closely with Jamie, and we had a very positive relationship. I think that the committee worked very well because of the co-operation that we always managed to achieve, so I hope that that's the way we're going to go forward. I'm sure that it will be the case. With our new members, we are Claire Adamson, Christina McKelvie and Joan McAlpine. The first agenda item officially is the Declaration of Interest, and I invite our new members to declare any interests that are relevant to the committee's remit, and I remind members that any declaration should be brief but sufficiently detailed to make clear to any listener the nature of that interest. I'll just go from left to right, Christina. Good morning, convener. Thank you very much. Christina McKelvie, I have no registrable interests in relation to this committee, and I would revere people to my register of interests for other information. Joan McKelvie. Thank you, convener. I would draw members' attention to my register of interests, and in particular the fact that I write a column for the daily record, a newspaper that has been known to comment and campaign on welfare issues. I also draw people's attention to my register of interests, but nothing to declare for this committee. Thank you very much to all of you. Welcome aboard. Agenda item 2 is the choice of deputy convener. In line with standing orders, the Parliament has agreed that members of the SNP shall be eligible for this position. Do members have a nomination that they would like to put forward? I'd like to nominate Clare Adamson for the post of deputy convener. I'm assuming there's no other nominations. We've received a nomination for Clare Adamson, so has the committee agreed that Clare will act as the deputy convener? Agreed. Again, welcome to the new post. I look forward to working with you. That brings us to agenda item 3, which is a decision on whether to take item 7 in private. Item 7 is a consideration of the committee's work programme. The members agree. Agree. Thank you very much. The fourth item of business today is the discretionary housing payments limit on total expenditure of revocation in Scotland order 2014. It will revoke any enactments that impose a limit on local authorities, discretionary housing payment expenditure and applies retrospectively from the 1 April this year. As members will recall, we took evidence on the order from the then deputy First Minister on the 1 November. At that stage, we did not formally consider the order as we had yet to receive the report from the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee. We've now received that report from the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee, which has determined that it does not need to draw the instrument to the attention of the Parliament. Members should also note that no motion to annul have been received in relation to this instrument. If the committee has agreed, then, does it not wish to make any recommendation in relation to that instrument? Agreed. We now have to close the public session and move into private session to consider draft reports on the draft budget and the Welfare Fund Scotland bill, as well as the committee's work programme. At its next meeting on 9 December, the committee will conduct a year-say oral evidence session and it will hear a variety of welfare benefit recipients on the impact of the welfare reforms on those with mental health. I will now take the meeting into private session.
