Convener

Our second item of business is to choose a convener. The Parliament has agreed that only members of the Scottish Labour Party are eligible for nomination as convener of the committee. That being the case, I seek nominations for the position.

I nominate David Stewart MSP.

I second that.

There are no further nominations. Are you prepared to serve, David?

I am.

We have received only one nomination, so I ask the committee to agree that David Stewart MSP be chosen as convener of the committee.

David Stewart was chosen as convener.

I congratulate David Stewart on his appointment and hand over the chair for the remainder of proceedings.

I thank committee members for choosing me as convener.
