The Deputy Convener

Under agenda item 2, the committee will choose a new convener. Following the resignation of Bill Aitken, the committee is required, as colleagues know, to appoint a new convener. Only Mr John Lamont, as the new Conservative member, is eligible. Do members agree to choose John Lamont as the committee’s new convener?

John Lamont was chosen as convener.

I invite Mr Lamont to take the convener’s chair.

Thank you very much.
