Item 2 is the election of a new deputy convener to replace Lyndsay McIntosh, who has left the committee. The new deputy convener must be a member of the Conservative party, which means we have one candidate only. However, I require a formal nomination from members for the post of deputy convener.
I nominate Bill Aitken.
As there is no requirement for the nomination to be seconded, I congratulate Mr Aitken—[Interruption.] Before I congratulate him, I should check that members agree with his nomination.
Bill Aitken was chosen as deputy convener.
Thank you. Never in my entire career have I had such a meteoric rise.
Just wait.
