Convener

Agenda item 3 is the choice of a convener. The Parliament has decided that members of the Scottish National Party are eligible to be chosen as convener. I invite a nomination for convener.

I nominate Clare Adamson.

Clare Adamson was chosen as convener.

Good morning, and thank you very much for the nomination. I am delighted to be here. Before we move into private session, I put on record my thanks to Sandra White, the former convener. I know that the committee has been very busy and has dealt with the Child Poverty (Scotland) Bill and has been working hard on the Social Security (Scotland) Bill. I thank Sandra for all her efforts and wish her well in her new duties in the Parliament.

We now move into private session.
