At this stage I thank members for their contributions. The list of potential witnesses is fairly extensive and the secretariat will work on it. Obviously, we have to send out invitations for next week's meeting. I propose we adjourn until 3.30 p.m. when we will be in public session with representatives of the County and City Management Association.

In general, has the work programme as outlined been agreed? Agreed. In terms of next week's witnesses, given the short notice, are members happy to leave that to the secretariat? Agreed. We are working towards the priorities outlined by members but we cannot end up in a situation where we have nobody next Tuesday, therefore we need to move on that immediately.
