If members look down the list and decide there are specific issues they wish to address with these bodies, they should let the secretariat know. The clerk will then be able to include those issues in the invitations and the bodies will be able to prepare. We must be careful to ensure that the invitations reflect what we will discuss with bodies. This has implications for the committee, but it is also beneficial for members, in that it allows them to get more information.

As we are in a position to give the Accounting Officers a significant amount of notice, we would not expect the schedule to change substantially, but the clerk will advise of any necessary change. There may need to be movement in the schedule to suit the witnesses. Some may want a different date for a particular reason. Does any member wish to raise other matters regarding the work programme?
