The business for this afternoon should be reasonably short. We have minutes, accounts, correspondence, the work programme and any other business. The first business is the minutes of our meeting of 11 November, which have been circulated to members. Does any member wish to raise any matter relating to the minutes? No. Are the minutes agreed? Agreed. As usual, the minutes will be published on the committee's website.

We now move on to accounts and financial statements, which the Comptroller and Auditor General, Mr. Seamus McCarthy, will take us through.
