Deputy Convener

The Convener

Under agenda item 2, we are required to choose a deputy convener to replace Angus MacDonald, who held that post. The Parliament has agreed that only members of the Scottish National Party are eligible for nomination as deputy convener of this committee. I invite members of that party to nominate one of their number for this post.

Gail Ross was chosen as deputy convener.

I congratulate Gail Ross on her appointment. As I said, we look forward to working with her.
