Convener

The Deputy Convener (Willie Coffey)

Good morning. I welcome members, witnesses and those joining us online to the Economy, Energy and Fair Work Committee’s 25th meeting of 2020. We welcome back Gordon Lindhurst and Maurice Golden as permanent members of the committee. We have received apologies from Alison Harris.

Item 1 on the agenda is to choose our convener. The Parliament has agreed that only members of the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party are eligible for nomination as convener of the committee. I understand that Gordon Lindhurst is the party’s nominee for the post. Do committee members agree that we choose Gordon Lindhurst as our convener?

I see no objections to that. Congratulations, Gordon, on your reappointment as convener of our committee. I now hand over the chair to you.
