Deputy Convener

We now have the task of appointing a deputy convener. On a motion of the Parliamentary Bureau, the deputy convener is to be chosen from the Labour party. I invite a nomination for deputy convener.

I nominate Maureen Macmillan.

I second that.

Maureen Macmillan was chosen as deputy convener.

I invite Maureen to come and take her position next to me, at the head of the table. It is always handy.

My goodness, I did not know that I had a special seat.

I will have to leave the meeting at 2.30 today, to attend a Parliamentary Bureau meeting, so you will be taking over, Maureen.

I remind members that Mary Seneviratne, who is our adviser on the regulation of the legal profession, is with us today. She will be involved in items later on the agenda.
