Acting Convener

The Deputy Convener

Our second agenda item is the appointment of an acting convener to the committee. The background to and procedure for the process are explained in committee paper 1.

The Parliament has agreed that only members of the Scottish Labour Party are eligible for nomination as acting convener. I invite members of the Scottish Labour Party to nominate a member from their party for the post of acting convener.

After careful consideration, I nominate Jackie Baillie.

Jackie Baillie was chosen as acting convener.

The Deputy Convener

I congratulate Jackie Baillie on her appointment. I will suspend the meeting briefly so that she can assume the chair.
