Those apologies are noted.

Members are requested to ensure that for the duration of the meeting their mobile phones are turned off completely or switched to flight or safe mode, depending on the device.

I propose that we go into private session to deal with some housekeeping matters before we return to public session. Is that agreed? Agreed.
