Thank you, Ms McNally. On a technical point, the 2017 submission is not on file as such, the reason being that it was submitted to a previous committee, which has essentially died. However, we are aware of the submission, it is available and I have read it.

I ask Dr. Patrick O'Brien from Oxford Brookes University to make his opening statement.
