On behalf of the select committee, I thank the Minister and his officials for assisting the committee in its consideration of the Revised Estimate and dealing comprehensively with the questions of members. Earlier the committee agreed to invite the Minister to a meeting of the joint committee in the autumn to have an exchange of views on the emerging position in respect of what will happen in 2017. It is hoped this meeting will be arranged in advance of budget 2017. The clerk has corresponded with officials with a view to having information on the format requested provided for the joint committee by 31 July. Is that acceptable to the Minister?
