Deputy Convener

The Convener (Edward Mountain)

First, I thank you all for making me convener of the committee. I look forward to working with you all closely over this session of the Parliament.

The committee’s next task is to choose a deputy convener. The Parliament has agreed that only members of the Scottish National Party are eligible for nomination. I believe that John Mason has proposed Gail Ross as deputy convener—is that correct?

Yes.

Gail Ross was chosen as deputy convener.

I congratulate Gail on her appointment and look forward to working closely with her over the course of this committee.
