Deputy Convener

The Convener

Agenda item 2 is to choose a deputy convener. Parliament has agreed that only members of the Scottish Labour Party are eligible for nomination as deputy convener of the committee. That said, there is still a formal nomination process to go through. I invite nominations for the post.

I nominate Monica Lennon.

There are no other nominations.

Monica Lennon was chosen as deputy convener.

Congratulations, Monica. It is good to have you on board.

That was a rapid promotion. [Laughter.]

The Convener

After that fleeting visit to a public session, we move to agenda item 3, which is scrutiny of the draft budget for 2018-19 and which we agreed previously to take in private.

10:02 Meeting continued in private until 11:57.
