The business before us includes minutes, accounts and financial statements, correspondence, work programme and any other business. The minutes of our meeting on 3 March have been circulated. Does any member wish to raise any matter relating to the minutes? Are the minutes agreed? Agreed. As usual, the minutes will be published on the committee's web page.

Six sets of financial statements and accounts were laid before the Houses between 28 February and 4 March 2022. As the Comptroller and Auditor General could not be with us this afternoon, I will ask Mr. Harkness, director of audit at the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General, to address these before opening the floor to members.
