Similarly, she noted for reasons of transparency in relation to item 10.6 (Inspection Reporting) that her daughter currently attended Gilcomstoun ELC provision, however she did not consider either connection to require a declaration of interest, and indicated that she would remain in the meeting for consideration of both items.
