The first item on the agenda is the election of a Chairman and I invite nominations for the position.
Election of Chairman.
Clerk to the Sub-Committee
I propose Deputy Allen and I have advised him that I will make no speech.
I agree.
Clerk to the Sub-Committee
As there are no other nominations, I declare Deputy Allen Chairman of the sub-committee, and I call on him to take the Chair.
Deputy Allen took the Chair.
I thank my colleagues for electing me Chairman of this sub-committee and I hope that we can work effectively and efficiently in dealing with the work load that we have. I also thank Senator Bradford for proposing me.
