Agenda item 2 is the choice of a deputy convener. The Parliament has agreed that only members of the Scottish National Party are eligible for nomination as deputy convener of the committee. That being the case, I seek nominations for the position of deputy convener.
I nominate Gil Paterson.
Does the committee agree to the appointment of Gil Paterson as deputy convener?
As no member has indicated that they are not content, that is agreed.
Gil Paterson was chosen as deputy convener.
I take the opportunity to thank Stuart McMillan, who has been a member and deputy convener of the committee since the start of the session, for his dedication to and enthusiasm for the work of the committee. Even though he is no longer a member, I know that Stuart will continue to be a great champion of the committee in the Parliament.
