I will hold over the financial statements received since our last meeting before Christmas until the next meeting but there is one item on the work programme that I want members to think about. Several companies from the private sector are coming in to talk to us on the broadband issue. They are all asking what the process is, what they should say, what the issues are and what the topic is so I am saying that rather than spend time on this now, I ask members to think about that so that when we come back at 2.30 p.m. we will have a few minutes in private session to discuss how to give some guidance about the meeting to those people who are assisting us and who are not obliged to come here. We will come back to that at the commencement of the afternoon session in private session for a couple of moments.

We have quite a few people to meet today-----
