Agenda item 2 is the choice of our deputy convener. On 1 June 2011, the Parliament agreed that Scottish National Party members are eligible to be chosen as the deputy convener of the Equal Opportunities Committee. I ask for nominations for the position.
I propose Jean Urquhart.
Do we have a seconder for that?
Yes—I second that.
Are there any other nominations for the position of deputy convener?
Who is proposed, convener? It is just so that I can give the matter serious consideration.
Dennis Robertson has proposed Jean Urquhart.
That is entirely acceptable to me. I was just adding a little colour to the occasion.
One nomination has been received. I ask the committee to agree that Jean Urquhart be chosen as deputy convener.
I congratulate Jean Urquhart on her new position.
Thank you.
We now move into private session.
