Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. You will have noticed that I am not your Chairman, but I am for the moment; I hope the Chairman will arrive in due course. In the meantime, I have a couple of announcements before we start: please turn off your mobile phones and anything else electronic that makes a noise, and please remember that tea and coffee are not allowed in the room during sittings.

We will consider first the programme motion on the amendment paper, then the motion to enable the reporting of written evidence for publication, and then the motion to allow us to deliberate in private about our questions before the oral evidence session. In view of the time available, I hope we can take those matters formally, without debate. I call the Minister to move the programme motion in his name, which I gather was discussed yesterday by the Programming Sub-Committee.

Ordered,

(1) the Committee shall (in addition to its first meeting at 9.25 am on Tuesday 14 May) meet—

(a) at 2.00 pm on Tuesday 14 May;

(b) at 11.30 am and 2.00 pm on Thursday 16 May;

(2) the Committee shall hear oral evidence in accordance with the following Table:
