Justice 2 Sub-Committee, 05 Sep 2006

Meeting date: Tuesday, September 5, 2006


Contents


Convener

Item 2 is the choice of convener, who must come from the Labour Party. I invite nominations.

I hope that Mr Home Robertson will not take what I say as a personal insult or anything to do with his age, but I have great pleasure in nominating Jackie Baillie to convene the sub-committee.

Jackie Baillie was chosen as convener.

I ask Jackie Baillie to take the chair. I will get out of the way and take my coffee elsewhere.

Thank you very much.

Congratulations.

John Home Robertson has chosen to move further away—he has left me isolated.

He is obviously in a huff.

In our eyes, he will always be the youngest committee member.
