Item 2 is the appointment of a deputy convener. The Parliament has agreed that only members of the Scottish Labour Party are eligible for nomination as deputy convener of this committee. As such, I nominate Michael Marra as deputy convener of the committee. Do members agree to choose Michael as our deputy convener?
