Convener

I now call for nominations for the position of convener of the committee.

I nominate Des McNulty.

I second that nomination.

Des McNulty was chosen as convener.

I thank Kate Maclean for nominating me. I think that I am the only person in this room who has previously been a member of the Finance Committee, and I hope that I can assist members over the coming months in highlighting the pattern of work that we might take up. I look forward not only to the work, but to working with all members of the committee in taking forward our responsibilities, which are considerable. Ours is one of the most important committees of the Scottish Parliament and we will have a lot of work to do, particularly with regard to budget issues.
