Deputy Convener

Having struggled on without a deputy for a couple of months, I am absolutely delighted that agenda item 2 is the appointment of a new deputy convener. The deputy convener's role is important.

Under the d'Hondt system, our deputy convener must be chosen from the Labour members. Under the watchful eye of our former deputy convener, Malcolm Chisholm, I invite nominations for the new deputy convener.

I nominate Margaret Jamieson.

I second that nomination.

Is everybody happy with that?

Members indicated agreement.

Margaret Jamieson was chosen as deputy convener.

Do you want to say anything, Margaret?

No. I will wait with interest.

That is unusual.
