Deputy Higgins is out of the country but would have been very keen to be here. I remind members and those in the Visitors Gallery to ensure their mobile phones are switched off completely for the duration of the meeting as, even if in silent mode, they cause interference with the recording equipment in committee rooms.
The minutes of the meeting of 2 April have been circulated. Are they agreed? Agreed.
Item No. 2 is a motion on the ongoing situation in Tibet proposed by Senator Norris and seconded by Deputy Higgins. If the Senator and Deputy agree, I propose to take the motion following the presentation by our guests today. Is that agreed?
