The public business before us this afternoon is: minutes, accounts and financial statements, correspondence, consideration of the committee's draft work programme and any other business. The first item is the minutes of our meeting of 4 July, which have been circulated to members. Are all members happy with the minutes? Does anyone wish to raise any issues? I will take it that the minutes are agreed. As usual, they will be published on the committee's webpage.

We will move on to accounts and financial statements. Six sets of accounts and financial statements were laid between 1 and 5 July 2024. I ask the Comptroller and Auditor General, Mr. Seamus McCarthy, to address these before opening the floor.
