Good morning and welcome to the 20th meeting in 2014 of the Equal Opportunities Committee. Please set any electronic devices to flight mode or switch them off, as they interfere with the Parliament’s broadcasting equipment.
As the convener is not present today and a new deputy convener has yet to be chosen, I am chairing this part of the meeting, as the oldest member of the committee. [Laughter.] I am only just the oldest member.
Under rule 12.1 of standing orders, the committee must choose a temporary convener for the meeting. I therefore seek nominations.
I nominate you.
Thank you. I seek the committee’s agreement to appoint me as temporary convener.
Members indicated agreement.
Thank you. Apologies have been received from Margaret McCulloch, the convener, and from Alex Johnstone. I put on record the committee’s thanks to Marco Biagi, who has moved on to greater things, and I wish him well in his new role.
