Deputy Convener

Item 3 is to choose a deputy convener. Members will note that the procedure is similar to the one that is used to choose a convener. The Parliament has agreed that members of the Scottish Labour Party are eligible to be chosen as deputy convener of the committee. That being the case, I invite nominations for the position of deputy convener.

I nominate James Kelly.

I happily second that.

A seconder is not needed but, again, that shows good spirit.

As one nomination has been received, I ask the committee to agree that James Kelly be chosen as deputy convener.

James Kelly was chosen as deputy convener.

Congratulations, James.

Congratulations to you, too.
