Apologies have been received from Deputy Thomas Pringle. I welcome members back and wish everybody a happy new year. Before I begin, I remind members to make sure their mobile phones are turned off. I propose we go into private session to deal with some housekeeping matters before returning to public session. Is that agreed? Agreed.
