The first item is the nomination for the Chair of the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee. Following the Chair of the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee becoming vacant, I invite nominations under Standing Order 17.2F for the election of a new Chair.

The Business Committee has decided that the Chair should remain allocated to the Labour group. Only a Member of that political group may be nominated as Chair, and only a Member of the same political group may make the nomination. As the Labour group has more than 20 Members, the nomination must be seconded by another Member of the same group.

I invite nominations, therefore, for the Chair of the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee.
