Deputy Convener

Thank you, Claudia, and the committee. The committee’s next task is to choose a deputy convener. The Parliament has agreed that only members of the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party are eligible for nomination as deputy convener of this committee, and I understand that the nominee is Maurice Golden. I invite a member of his party to nominate him for the post.

I nominate Maurice Golden.

Maurice Golden was chosen as deputy convener.

Congratulations to Maurice Golden. [Applause.]

I now close the public part of the meeting and the committee will move into private session, as agreed earlier, to discuss its future work programme.
