I apologise for interrupting Mr. Phillips but he has run over time. I appreciate he has prepared an extensive presentation, but all members received a copy in advance of the meeting and it will be more useful to spend our time on a question-and-answer session, where we might extract more information.

I thank Mr. Phillips and invite Mr. Slattery to make his opening statement.
