 I welcome everyone to the first meeting of the interests of members of the Scottish Parliament Bill Committee. I remind everyone present to turn off mobile phones as they can interfere with the sound system. We have not received any apologies in advance of today's meeting, so I will move to agenda item 1, which is the Declaration of Interest. The first item is to allow committee members to declare any interests that they have that are relevant to the work of this committee. Background information has been provided in a note from the clerk. My interests are declared in my register of interests. I have a few acres of land in Donagall and a small pension from the SPPA, which anyone can see in my register of interests. I go round the table starting from Bill Kidd to invite any members to declare any interests that they feel are relevant. I have no relevant interests to declare in relation to the bill. However, I am a member of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee. I am not aware of any interests to declare. I move on to agenda item 2, which is the choice of convener. The Parliament has agreed that only members of the Scottish National Party are eligible for nomination as convener of this committee. It is my understanding that Bill Kidd is the party's nominee for this post. Do we agree to choose Bill Kidd as our convener? No seconder is required, so I congratulate Mr Kidd on his appointment. I do not think that we need to vacate chairs, so I move on to Bill Kidd. Thank you very much for seeing democracy in action. Mary Scanlon, you have shared that extremely well, thank you very much. The next item of business is item 3, the choice of a deputy convener. As I have been informed, it should fall first to Mary Scanlon MSP. Is there any other view? Are you shouting something at me, Mr Don? I am whispering something at you, but I think that you are clas when I whisper something at you as well. Mary Fee. That is a surprise to me. I must admit that there are too many Mary's, and I have just said Mary Scanlon before that I do apologise. I am sorry, Mary. I should let Graham Day take over. Mary Fee, sorry, I do apologise, and can I ask if there is support for that position? Thank you very much. Item 4 is business and private. Will the committee decide to take business and private in the work programme? Great. I ask if we can vacate the room for those who are no longer involved.
