Under our third agenda item, as Neil Findlay has left the committee, we need to choose a new deputy convener. The Parliament has agreed that members of the Scottish Labour Party are eligible to be chosen as deputy convener of the Education and Culture Committee. That being the case, I invite nominations for the position of deputy convener.
I nominate Neil Bibby, convener.
I ask the committee to agree that Neil Bibby is chosen as deputy convener.
Our congratulations go to Neil on his new role. I do not need to welcome you to the committee, because you have been here for some time, Neil, but I am sure that it will be a pleasure to work with you as deputy convener.
