The secretariat will give us a draft for our first consideration of the matter. I ask members to take some time out before the meeting to go through it. I would like to clear that with a view to publishing it early in December. It is essential that we do that. I want to try to clear the first reading of that report and then we might have a final one after that.

On 29 November, we will have officials from the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection before us. We will discuss several chapters of the Comptroller and Auditor General's report, the Social Insurance Fund and the Vote, which is one of the largest Votes. There is quite a lot and we probably will not get to complete all that work on that day and we might have to hold some of it over. I have listed everything related to that Department for the first day and we might have to come back to it.
