Deputy Convener

The first item on the agenda is the appointment of a deputy convener. Parliament agreed on 16 December that the deputy convener should come from the Scottish National party. I invite nominations for the post.

I nominate Shona Robison.

Does Shona Robison accept the nomination?

Yes.

I welcome you to your new post and look forward to working with you.

Sorry, I should have asked if there were any other nominations. How undemocratic of me. Are there any? It seems not. In that case, my last remarks stand.

Shona Robison was elected deputy convener by acclamation.
