The business before us this afternoon includes approval of the minutes, accounts and financial statements, correspondence, our work programme, and any other business.

The first item is the minutes of our meeting of 26 May, which have been circulated to members. Does any member wish to raise any matter relating to those minutes? No. Are the minutes agreed? Agreed. As usual, they will be published on the committee's web page.

The second item is the accounts and financial statements. Five sets of statements and accounts were laid before the Houses between 23 May and 27 May. I will ask the Comptroller and Auditor General to address these before opening the floor to members. Is it agreed to note the accounts and statements? Agreed.
