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

The minutes of the meeting of 23 February have been circulated. Do any members wish to raise any matter? No. Are the minutes agreed? Agreed. As usual, they will be published on the committee's web page.

The second item is accounts and financial statements. Six sets of accounts and financial statements were laid before the Houses between 20 and 24 February. I ask Mr. Seamus McCarthy, the Comptroller and Auditor General, to address these before opening matters to the floor.
