I welcome Mr. McCarthy here this evening. I read with interest his substantial CV and I have no doubt that all of his qualifications will stand him in good stead in his role. Books will obviously be his main focus. How does he distinguish which books are suitable to scrutinise? Are they specifically published here, or can they be published abroad and sold here? Is there a distinction involved? Will he consider magazines, magazine articles or anything to do with newspapers?
