Temporary Convener

Good morning and welcome to the 13th meeting in 2013 of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee. I remind members to turn off their mobile phones. I have received apologies from Dave Thompson, Helen Eadie, Richard Lyle and Cameron Buchanan.

As neither the convener nor the deputy convener is present today, I am chairing this part of the meeting as the longest serving member of the committee. Under rule 12.1, the standing orders require that the committee must choose a temporary convener for the meeting. Therefore, I seek a nomination for someone to chair the meeting.

I am happy to nominate you, Fiona.

Thank you very much. Is the committee agreed that I, Fiona McLeod, be appointed as temporary convener for today’s meeting?

Members indicated agreement.
