The public business before us this afternoon is as follows: minutes, accounts and financial statements, correspondence, work programme and any other business. The first item is the minutes of the meeting of 30 March, which have been circulated. Members have the minutes in front of them. Do any members wish to raise any matters relating to the minutes? Are the minutes agreed? Agreed. As usual, the minutes will be published on the committee's web page.

The second item is financial statements. Unusually, no accounts or financial statements were laid before the Houses since our last meeting. We will return to those next week. We normally have anything between four and ten financial statements to deal with. Mr. McCarthy may wish to come in.
