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 our meeting of 25 January 2024, which have been circulated to members. If members wish to raise any matter in relation to the minutes they should please feel free to do so. Are the minutes agreed? Agreed. As usual, the minutes will be published on the committee's web page.

Four sets of accounts and financial statements were laid before the Houses between 22 and 26 January 2024. I will ask the Comptroller and Auditor General, Mr. Seamus McCarthy, to address these.
