Good morning, colleagues.
Our witness has not arrived and he is not yet in the building, so we'll try to track him down.
Meanwhile we have a bit of committee business. As you know, the last day for supply is December 10. If we are to report on those supplementary estimates (B) that have been referred to us, we have to do it by today. I'm assuming that the government members are quite happy with the supplementary estimates (B) as presented.
The other difficulty I have, ladies and gentlemen, colleagues, is that I would have to leave the chair at 10 o'clock in order to report any report that this committee would wish to make, because routine proceedings on Tuesdays start at 10 o'clock. Without getting into any kind of lengthy debate, is there any appetite to deal with the votes as requested on the supplementary estimates (B)?
Mr. Regan.
