The public business before us this afternoon is as follows: minutes; accounts and financial statements; correspondence; consideration of our work programme; and any other business.

The first item is the minutes. The minutes of our meeting of 26 September 2024 have been circulated to members. Do any members wish to raise any matters on the minutes? No. Are the minutes agreed as normal? Agreed. As usual, they will be published on the committee's webpage.

Moving on to accounts and financial statements, members will see that six sets of accounts and financial statements were laid before the House between 23 September and 27 September this year. I ask Mr. Seamus McCarthy, the Comptroller and Auditor General, to address these, then we will open the floor.
