The new Chair of the Scottish Affairs Committee will be Perth and North Perthshire MP Peter Wishart and the new Chair of the Energy and Climate Change Committee will be Angus MacNeil, the MP for Na h-Eileanan an Iar.  Both candidates were the SNP's sole nominees for the chairmanship positions at close of nominations.

The SNP were given chairmanship of those two select committees.  There is more than one nominee for most of the other select committee chairmanship positions and a ballot will now be held for those.  Further information regarding the election procedures can be found here...
