Good afternoon and welcome to the first meeting in 2015 of the Justice Sub-Committee on Policing. I ask everyone to ensure that mobile phones and other electronic devices are switched off completely, as they interfere with the sound system.
We have received apologies from Graeme Pearson and from the convener, Christine Grahame, who the clerks reliably inform me is involved in shocking members. Some people would say that that is business as usual, but I could not possibly comment. However, that explains why, under standing orders, as the oldest member present, I am chairing the meeting for the purpose of choosing a temporary convener.
I ask for nominations for a temporary convener.
You should just keep the chair.
I am grateful for that—I think.
We have only one nomination, so I shall temporarily convene the committee.
