Deputy Convener

Agenda item 3 is the choice of the deputy convener. The Parliament has agreed that only members of the Scottish Green Party are eligible for nomination to be deputy convener. I understand that Patrick Harvie has his party’s nomination for the post. I nominate him to be the deputy convener.

That was from a wide field.

It is about quality, not quantity.

Patrick Harvie was chosen as deputy convener.

I welcome Patrick Harvie to the post of deputy convener.
