The public business before us is as follows: the minutes; accounts and financial statements; correspondence; the work programme; and any other business.

The first item of business is the minutes of our meeting of 17 February, which have been circulated to members. Does any member wish to raise matters in respect of the minutes? No. Are the minutes agreed? Agreed. As usual, they will be published on the committee's webpage.

Five sets of financial statements and accounts were laid before the Houses between 14 and 18 February. I will ask the Comptroller and Auditor General to address these before opening them to the floor.
