Deputy Convener

The Convener (Joan McAlpine)

I thank Bruce Crawford for his chairing of the meeting.

The committee’s next task is to choose a deputy convener. The Parliament has agreed that only members of the Scottish Labour Party are eligible for nomination as deputy convener, and Lewis Macdonald is the party’s nominee for the post. Do we agree that he will be deputy convener?

Lewis Macdonald was chosen as deputy convener.

I congratulate Lewis Macdonald.
