The public business before us this afternoon is the minutes, accounts and financial statements, correspondence and consideration of a draft committee work programme, as well as any other business.

The first item of business is the minutes of our meeting of 27 June 2024, which have been circulated to members. Do members wish to raise any issues regarding the minutes? Are the minutes agreed? Agreed. As usual, they will be published on the committee's webpage.

The next item of business is accounts and financial statements. Four sets of accounts and financial statements have been laid before the Houses between 24 and 28 June 2024. I will ask the Comptroller and Auditor General, Mr. McCarthy, to address these before I take remarks from members.
