I thank all the witnesses for being here. It feels as if there will be more questions than answers, even from their side. It is an important piece of work. There is a concerning discrepancy between the two data sets in a general sense, so it is good that the organisations represented are all engaged in it and there is a commitment to try to come up with a unique, authoritative and verifiable data set.

My first question will be for the CSO which is, as I understand it, taking the lead on that exercise with the support of the RTB. Has it any timeline for when that piece of work, or at least a first iteration of it, will be complete?
