I welcome from the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation, Mr. Kieran Grace, principal officer; Mr. Billy Cox, assistant principal officer; and Ms Emma Hanrahan, executive officer, all of whom are attached to the competition and consumer policy section, to the meeting to scrutinise the Consumer Protection (Amendment) Bill 2017. I have already read out the procedures, and the witnesses were in the room at the time, so I believe we can dispense with that.

I ask Mr. Grace to make his presentation to the committee.
