As a majority of members have voted in favour, John Pentland is duly elected for appointment to the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body.
I congratulate John Pentland on his appointment and, on behalf of the corporate body members, thank Dave Stewart, who has been a member of the corporate body since 2011 and has done absolutely sterling work on members’ behalf in it. I look forward, as I know that my colleagues do, to working with John Pentland in the future.
