Deputy Convener

Agenda item 2 is selection of a new deputy convener. Parliament has agreed that members of the Labour Party are eligible to be chosen as deputy convener of the Education and Culture Committee. I invite nominations for the position.

I nominate Neil Findlay.

We have one nomination for the post. Does the committee agree that the convener of the Education and Culture Committee will be Neil Findlay?

Members indicated agreement.

Terry Shevlin (Clerk)

The nomination was for deputy convener.

Yes—deputy convener. I apologise.

A coup!

I know. What a start. I thank the clerk very much for that correction.

Just for the record, the deputy convener of the Education and Culture Committee will be Neil Findlay. I welcome him to his post.
