Deputy Convener

Good morning. I thank Alex Neil for taking the chair initially and thank the committee and the Parliament for nominating me as convener. It is a great honour.

The committee’s next task is to choose a deputy convener. The Parliament has agreed that only members of the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party are eligible for nomination as deputy convener of the committee, and I invite members of that party to nominate one of their members for the post of deputy convener.

I nominate Alison Harris.

Alison Harris was chosen as deputy convener.

Thank you very much indeed. I look forward to working with you, Alison, in the years to come.
