Deputy Convener

Item 3 is to appoint a deputy convener. As members will be aware, the clerk’s note—paper 2—sets out the procedure for doing so. Members will see that the procedure is very similar to that for selecting a convener.

The Parliament has agreed that members of the Scottish National Party are eligible to be chosen as deputy convener of the Public Petitions Committee. That being the case, I invite nominations for the position.

I nominate Sandra White.

I second that.

One nomination has been received, and I therefore ask the committee to agree that Sandra White MSP be chosen as deputy convener of the Public Petitions Committee.

Sandra White was chosen as deputy convener.

I congratulate Sandra White on her appointment.
