I do not think that there is anything in the paper that will surprise anybody or raise any concerns, but I give committee members the opportunity to raise any points that they noticed. I have a few points.
I recognise that my first act as convener is to take the committee into private session and apologise to the people who were responsible for writing the consultative steering group report. I invite members of the press and the public—who are not yet here—to leave the room.
