Deputy Presiding Officer

The Presiding Officer (Ken Macintosh)

The next item of business is the election of an additional Deputy Presiding Officer for the duration of the public response to the novel coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic. The election will use the electronic voting system, but it will be a secret ballot, so only the overall result, not how individual members voted, will be published.

I can inform members that I have received one valid nomination, which is Lewis Macdonald. I now declare the election of the Deputy Presiding Officer open. The question is, that Lewis Macdonald be elected as a Deputy Presiding Officer.

Members voted by secret ballot.
