Christopher Chope (Christchurch, Conservative)
Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to this sitting of the Committee. I remind participants that the acoustics in the room leave something to be desired, so I encourage people to speak up. I welcome three Ministers—I do not know what a collective of Ministers is called: I suggest a mint of Ministers. Thank you for coming along this afternoon.
We shall go straight into the first question from Alistair Burt.
