Convener
We move to item 3, which is the most important item. The committee’s next task is to choose a convener. The procedure is explained in paper 2. The Parliament has agreed that only members of the Scottish Labour Party are eligible for nomination as convener of the committee. I understand that Richard Leonard is that party’s nominee. Is that correct? No seconder is required.
Richard Leonard was chosen as convener.
I congratulate Richard Leonard on his appointment. I now vacate the chair and hand over to him.
Thank you, Colin.
I thank members for their endorsement. I am honoured to be elected as convener of the committee. My role will to be work inclusively without fear or favour, to hold power to account, to promote the common good and the public interest, to be a guardian of openness, transparency and democracy, and through evidence and scrutiny to shine a bright light on public governance, public working practices, investment and outcomes on behalf of the people.
