Under the next item of business we will choose a deputy convener. I refer members to paper 2. The Parliament has agreed that the deputy convener will be a member of the Scottish Labour Party. Daniel Johnson MSP is the proposed deputy convener and I am happy to nominate him for the role.
Daniel Johnson was chosen as deputy convener.
I congratulate Daniel Johnson on his new role and look forward to working with him.
I hope that everyone was impressed with how slick that was.
I am pleased to serve on the committee again, as I did in the previous session of the Parliament when I was latterly, albeit briefly, committee convener. I am happy to share any insights from the prior committee’s work, but it is up to members whether they choose to heed that or whether we choose to do our own thing in the new session. I look forward to our work.
