We come to item 2. Neil Bibby’s resignation means that we must also appoint a new deputy convener. The Parliament previously agreed that only members of the Labour Party are eligible for the post. I invite nominations of members of that party for the deputy convenership.
I am happy to nominate Siobhan McMahon.
I am assuming that Siobhan will accept the nomination, even though she is not here.
Siobhan McMahon was chosen as deputy convener.
We will pass on the good news to Siobhan McMahon that she is now the deputy convener of the Education and Culture Committee.
