I thank Professor Lynk. I read his report last night and it makes for absolutely grim reading. I thank him for his presentation. I apologise for our Chair who is indisposed today. I am standing in for him. He sends his apologies. I will open the meeting to colleagues who I am sure have questions to ask. I ask them to keep their questions succinct and short and not to make long speeches, although I know people want to comment as well.
