Convener

Mary Fee

Agenda item 2 is the choice of a convener. The Parliament has agreed that only members of the Scottish National Party are eligible for nomination as convener of the committee. I invite members to nominate one of their number for the post of convener.

I nominate my friend and colleague, Christina McKelvie, to convene the committee for this session of the Parliament.

Thank you, Willie. I am happy to endorse that nomination. There are no other nominations.

Christina McKelvie was chosen as convener.

I congratulate Christina McKelvie on her appointment as convener.

Thank you very much.

I will now remove myself from this seat and allow Christina to come and sit here.

Thank you for choosing me to be the convener of the committee. I look forward to working with you, especially since the committee may have an extended remit, in which many of us have a keen interest.
