Convener

The Deputy Convener

Agenda item 2 is choice of convener. On 1 June 2016, the Parliament agreed to motion S5M-00278, which resolved that members of the Scottish National Party were eligible to be chosen as convener of the committee. I ask for a nomination for the post.

I nominate Clare Adamson.

I second the nomination.

Clare Adamson was chosen as convener.

I congratulate Clare Adamson on her appointment and look forward to working with her. I will now hand over to her so that she can do the hard part of the job.

The Convener (Clare Adamson)

Thank you. I am very pleased to be a member of the Education and Skills Committee, having served on the Education and Culture Committee in the previous session of Parliament. I echo the Deputy Convener’s comments about the members who have gone on to new roles in the Parliament, and I wish them well.
