Good morning, and welcome to the Audit Committee's 13th meeting in 2008. I welcome members of the public and press and the representatives of Audit Scotland. I ask everyone to ensure that mobile phones are switched off. I have received apologies from Nicol Stephen and Charlie Gordon. I welcome John Farquhar Munro, who is here as a substitute for Nicol Stephen, and I invite him to declare any interests.
I have no interests to declare. The only thing is that I will have to leave at 11 o'clock, because I have another meeting arranged.
Thank you for that notice.
