The main business of this meeting is to continue our budget 2013 discussions with various civil society representatives and focus groups. The submissions received and a summary paper by the clerk to the committee have been circulated. Due to the workload and the number of committee meetings this week, it is proposed to hold over consideration of the minutes of the meetings on 7 and 9 November until the next meeting on Wednesday, 14 November. Is that agreed? Agreed.

What time has been allocated to each of the groups? Given the number of groups, perhaps we should look to reorganise-----

I expect all groups to be present and we are holding four modules.
