Deputy Convener

The Convener

The committee’s next task is to choose a deputy convener. The Parliament has agreed that only members of the Scottish Labour Party are eligible for nomination as deputy convener of the committee. I understand that Johann Lamont is the party’s nominee for the post. Do we agree to choose her as deputy convener?

Members indicated agreement.

Johann Lamont was chosen as deputy convener.

I congratulate Johann on her appointment. I look forward to working with her in her role as deputy convener.
