Deputy Convener

The Convener:

The first item on the agenda is the election of a deputy convener. On the recommendation of the Parliamentary Bureau, the Parliament has decided that the deputy convener of this committee should come from the Labour party. I therefore invite any member of that party who wants to stand for the post of deputy convener to identify herself and confirm her candidature.

I nominate Pauline McNeill.

Do any other members want to make a nomination for the post of deputy convener? As there are no other nominations, I invite the committee to appoint Pauline McNeill as its deputy convener.

Pauline McNeill was elected deputy convener by acclamation.

I congratulate Pauline on her election—I think that the term is election, rather than elevation.
