We will commence with draft minutes and correspondence. The meeting last week was of the select committee and this followed two private meetings on Tuesday, 1 December and Tuesday, 8 December. I take it the minutes of our last joint committee meeting of 18 November, the actions relating to the items of correspondence received and dealt with at the two private meetings, and the draft spring programme are agreed. Is that agreed? Agreed. These decisions will now be recorded in the minutes of today's meeting.

We will move to any other business. Do members wish to raise any other matters? I remind members that we have three opening statements today so our time management will have to be tight.
