The public business before us this afternoon is as follows: minutes, accounts and financial statements, correspondence, the work programme, and any other business.

The first item of business is the minutes of the meetings of 1 February and 9 February, 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.

Two sets of accounts and financial statements were laid before the Houses between 6 and 10 February 2023. I will now ask the Comptroller and Auditor General to address these before opening the floor to members.
