[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:08]
Colleagues, I call this meeting of the Finance Committee to order and apologise for the slightly late start, which was due to—shall we say—technical difficulties. I issue the usual warning about mobile phones and pagers and, in passing, I record that this is our anniversary meeting. The Finance Committee has been in operation for a full year and some of the business that we will deal with this week shows that we have had a pretty successful first year. We had many things to learn, but we have all gained invaluable experience along the way.
