Item of business
Convener
Our next item is the choice of a new convener, following the departure of Christina McKelvie, who has been bumped from the ranks to ministerial office. On 1 June, the Parliament agreed to motion S5M-00278, which resolved that members of the Scottish National Party are eligible to be chosen as convener of the committee. I seek a nomination for the convener.
