Deputy Convener

Thank you, Colin, and thanks to everybody for supporting me to be convener of this important committee. I am looking forward to taking on the role. As we have moved through the pandemic, there has been a huge impact on our economy and wellbeing, and the committee will have a big part to play in building Scotland’s recovery and working with members across Parliament—[Inaudible.]

We require to appoint a deputy convener. Parliament has agreed that only members of the Scottish National Party are eligible for nomination as deputy convener. I invite members to make their nominations.

I nominate Colin Beattie as deputy convener.

Thank you. I look forward to working with you. I am sure that we have an interesting session ahead of us.
