The business before us this afternoon is as follows: minutes, accounts and financial statements, correspondence, work programme, and any other business. We will then go into private session briefly before adjourning.

The first item is the minutes of our meetings of 31 March and 7 April, which have been circulated to members. Do members wish to raise any matters in relation to the minutes? Are the minutes agreed? Agreed. As usual, the minutes will be published on the committee's web page.

Seven sets of financial statements and accounts were laid before the Houses between 28 March and 22 April 2022. I will ask the Comptroller and Auditor General to address these before opening the floor to members.
