Item 3 is to choose a deputy convener. The selection requires a member to be nominated by at least one committee member. The Parliament has agreed that only members of the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party are eligible to be chosen as deputy convener. That being the case, I invite nominations for the position.
I nominate Alex Johnstone.
There are no other nominations.
Alex Johnstone was chosen as deputy convener.
I should have asked whether you were willing to be deputy convener.
Indeed, I am. I had been pre-primed.
Good. That is fortunate; otherwise we would have had to start again.
