Convener

Item 2 on the agenda is to choose a committee convener. Members have before them a note by the clerk, paper 2, which sets out the procedure for selecting a convener. The Parliament has agreed that only members of the Scottish National Party are eligible for nomination as convener of the committee. That being the case, I seek nominations for the position of convener.

I nominate Christine Grahame.

I second that.

There is no requirement for nominations to be seconded, but it was very kind of you to do so, John. I will remember that—you may get additional supplementaries; you have begun well.

As one nomination has been received, I ask the committee to agree that I be chosen as convener of the committee.

Christine Grahame was chosen as convener.

I thank you all for your support.
