The agenda for this section of the meeting is as follows: minutes; account and financial statements; correspondence; work programme; and any other business. The first business is the minutes of the meetings of 9 and 14 November 2023, which have been circulated to members. Do any members wish to raise any matters in relation to the minutes? No. Are the minutes for both meetings agreed? Agreed. They will be published on the committee's web page as usual.

The next business is accounts and financial statements. Four sets of accounts and financial statements were laid before the Houses between 6 and 10 November. I ask Mr. Seamus McCarthy, the Comptroller and Auditor General, to address these before we open the discussion to the floor.
