Deputy Convener

The Convener

Under agenda item 2, the committee will choose a deputy convener to replace Johann Lamont. The Parliament has agreed that only members of the Scottish Labour Party are eligible for nomination as deputy convener of the committee. I invite members of that party to nominate one of their number for the post.

I nominate Daniel Johnson.

The Convener

Thank you. Does the committee agree to accept the nomination of Daniel Johnson as deputy convener?

Members indicated agreement.

Daniel Johnson was chosen as deputy convener.

I congratulate our new deputy convener on his appointment.
