We move to the appointment of our new convener. On 15 June 2021, the Parliament agreed, by means of motion S6M-00393, that members of the Scottish National Party are eligible to be chosen as convener and deputy convener of the committee. I ask members for nominations for our new convener.

I welcome Collette Stevenson to her new position and congratulate her on it. I now hand over to her to chair the remainder of the meeting.

Thank you—a very warm welcome to each and all, including the new members. I am the committee’s fourth convener in the current session of Parliament; I appreciate that there have been a lot of changes, and I thank the clerks for their forbearance.
