This part of our meeting is to consider two Government motions and proposals to opt in, pursuant to protocols 19 and 21 of the Lisbon treaty, to aspects of regulation 2018/1726 of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union Agency for the Operational Management of Large-scale IT Systems in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice, also known as eu-LISA. I want to welcome the Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Charles Flanagan, and his officials. I have already cautioned members and I ask the Minister and his colleagues to please make sure their mobile phones are on silent. Members should, under the salient rulings of the Chair, not comment on, criticise or make charges against a person outside the House or an official by name or in such a way as to make him or her identifiable. I invite the Minister to make his opening statement.
