Convener

Agenda item 2 is the election of a convener. It has been decided that the committee will be convened by a member of the Conservative party and I therefore invite members to nominate a convener.

It would have to be Murdo Fraser. I do not mean that badly. I am delighted for it to be Murdo. I did not mean that in a pejorative sense, but by sheer logic it must be him.

Murdo Fraser has been nominated. We are not required to have a seconder. Murdo, are you willing to take the chair?

I would be delighted to take the chair.

Murdo Fraser was chosen as convener.

That makes life a lot easier for me, Murdo. I welcome you to the chair and congratulate you on your appointment. We shall swap places.
