Scotland Bill Committee

Deputy Convener

The Convener

The next item is the selection of a deputy convener. Members have a note from the clerk that sets out the procedure for selecting a deputy convener, which is similar to that for selecting a convener. The Parliament has agreed that members of the Labour Party are eligible to be chosen as deputy convener of this committee. I understand that James Kelly is the Labour Party nominee for the post.

James Kelly was chosen as deputy convener.

It would be great if we were to have this degree of consensus all the way through our proceedings.
