Deputy Convener

The Convener

Under the next agenda item, the committee is to choose a deputy convener. The Parliament has agreed that only members of the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party are eligible for nomination as deputy convener. I understand that Donald Cameron is that party’s nominee. Does any member disagree with that nomination? If they do, they should put an N in the chat bar now.

I do not see anything in the chat bar.

Donald Cameron was chosen as deputy convener.

The Convener

I am absolutely delighted to congratulate Donald Cameron on his appointment as deputy convener.

The extent of our remit is very challenging and, at times, we might have different opinions, but I hope that we will work well together, constructively and consensually most of the time, if not all the time.

I thank members for their endorsement of both the convener and the deputy convener.
