Commenting on the appointment Mr Stevenson said:

"I am delighted to be a member of the new Scottish Ministerial team in the first SNP government in history. This has been a tremendous week for the people of Scotland and one which I hope will herald a new era in Scottish politics, an era of co-operation and effective decision-making.

"A key part of serving in Government is ensuring you hear at first hand the concerns of individuals and businesses. I have always listened carefully to my constituents and in Government it will be my priority to continue to serve all of my constituents.
