Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. We are in a slightly peculiar position, as the deputy convener is delayed in traffic and we have to elect a temporary convener. That must be done with the oldest member—me—in the chair. I ask for nominations for a temporary convener.
I nominate Cathie Craigie.
Cathie Craigie was chosen as temporary convener.
First of all, I thank the committee for the honour of putting me in this position and I express my relief that no question of age was raised regarding my ability to do the job.
