Apologies have been received from Deputies Alan Shatter, Tony Gregory and Billy Timmins. The minutes of the meeting of 4 June 2008 have been circulated. Are the minutes agreed? Agreed.
I remind members and those in the Visitors Gallery to ensure their mobile telephones and BlackBerrys are switched off completely for the duration of the meeting. They cause interference, even if on silent mode, with the recording equipment in the committee rooms. I ask people to respect this instruction.
Three items have been referred to the committee regarding decisions taken by the Joint Committee on EU Scrutiny. These have been circulated and it is proposed that they be noted. Is that agreed? Agreed.
