Deputy Convener

The Convener

The next item is the choosing of a deputy convener. Members will be aware that Parliament has agreed that a member of the Reform UK Party should be the deputy convener of the committee, and Senga Beresford is the member of the Reform UK Party on the committee.

Does any member want to nominate the deputy convener?

I would be happy to nominate Senga Beresford.

Thank you. Senga Beresford has been nominated.

Senga Beresford was chosen as deputy convener.

Senga, do you want to add a few words?

Senga Beresford

This is all quite new to me, although, culture-wise, I probably know a wee bit more. At this meeting, I want to sit back and listen, if that is okay, and to hear what members have to say, so that I can spend the summer reading up and getting caught up with what has been happening and what our plans are.

That is absolutely fine. I am sure that we will all be doing that.
