I propose that we dispense with some official business before we hear from our guests, who are very welcome.

Before we commence, the usual provisos apply regarding the use of mobile phones. They need to be switched off or put on airplane mode. This meeting needs to adjourn at 4 p.m. to facilitate a meeting of another committee in this room.
