Agenda item 2 is choice of deputy convener. The purpose of the item is to appoint a new deputy convener to replace Fiona Hyslop, who has joined the Scottish Government. I have already thanked Fiona for her work, so I am not going to repeat those thanks, but I should say that on 15 June 2021, the Parliament by motion resolved that Scottish National Party MSPs are eligible to be deputy convener of the committee.
My first question is: do we have a nomination? Jackie, are you nominating yourself?
Absolutely not, convener. I am nominating Ben Macpherson.
Ben Macpherson was chosen as deputy convener.
Congratulations, Ben, on your appointment.
