Item 2 is the committee's choice of deputy convener. On 4 June 2003, the Parliament agreed to motion S2M-107, which stated that the deputy convener of the Communities Committee will be a member of the Scottish Liberal Democrats. I have to say that, as we have only one nomination, this is a blinding moment of realisation for us.
Mr Jamie Stone was chosen as deputy convener.
I congratulate Mr Stone on his appointment. Members will be pleased to learn that, as deputy convener, he will chair the remainder of the meeting.
Thank you for that tremendous vote of confidence. It goes to show that, in politics, every dog has its day.
