– in the Scottish Parliament at on 9 January 2018.
The next item of business is the election of a member for appointment to the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body. A vacancy has arisen following the resignation of David Stewart. I thank him for his invaluable contribution to the work of the SPCB over many years. [

I have received one valid nomination for appointment. The nomination is Kezia Dugdale.
The question is, that Kezia Dugdale be elected for appointment to the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body. Members should press yes, no or abstain.
The Presiding Officer:
The result of the vote on the appointment of Kezia Dugdale to the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body is: For 106, Against 0, Abstentions 3.
As a majority of members have voted in favour, Kezia Dugdale is duly selected for appointment to the SPCB. I congratulate her on her appointment. [
