Convener

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton:

I invite members to nominate a member of the Scottish Liberal Democrats for the post of convener. However, because Robert Brown is the only candidate and virtually every committee member has volunteered to nominate him, it would perhaps be simpler if it is taken that I nominate him. I know that Robert Brown accepts the nomination and I trust that members agree to his becoming convener by general acclaim.

Robert Brown was chosen as convener.

I thank members for making my job as chairman extremely simple and easy.

A vote of thanks to the chair.
