Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the 24th meeting in 2024 of the Social Justice and Social Security Committee. We have received apologies from Collette Stevenson, and I welcome David Torrance, who is attending as a substitute.
Under agenda item 1, I invite David Torrance to declare any relevant interests.
I have no relevant interests to declare.
I understand that Jeremy Balfour also wishes to make a comment at this point.
Just for the avoidance of doubt, I remind members that I am in receipt of a higher rate of personal independence payment. I am also a former member of the tribunals service.
Thank you for putting that on the record.
