The first item on the agenda today is consideration of minutes of previous meetings. We will consider minutes, accounts, financial statements, correspondence, work programme and any other business.

The minutes of the meeting of 7 July have been circulated to members. Do they wish to raise any matters arising from the minutes? If not, are the minutes agreed? Agreed. As usual, the minutes will be published on the committee's web page.

Moving to accounts and financial statements, we will consider a good few of these today. There were 13 sets of financial statements laid before the Houses between 30 June and 8 July. I ask the Comptroller and Auditor General to address these before opening to comments from the floor.
