Convener

Item 2, and the committee’s next task, is to choose a convener. The procedure is explained in paper 2. The Parliament has agreed that only members of the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party are eligible for nomination as convener of the committee. I nominate Dean Lockhart.

Dean Lockhart was chosen as convener.

I congratulate Dean Lockhart on his appointment. I look forward to working with him and other members of the committee. I will hand over to our convener, Dean Lockhart.

I thank you, Fiona, and other committee members. It is a great privilege to become convener of this committee. We have tremendously important work ahead of us and I look forward to working with all the members, the clerks to the committee, the Scottish Parliament information centre and everyone else who will be engaged with the committee’s work.
