    <contribution_verbatim>&lt;p&gt;Item 3, we have papers to note. Members have been circulated the papers to note, so we've all had a chance to look at them. I'd also like to say to stakeholders, thank you very much for contacting the committee. We have been inundated with invites and requests for meetings, and just to let you all know that we'll be in touch in a week or so, getting back to you. So, we're not ignoring you, we're just trying to get through everything that we have at the moment to look at. If Members are all happy with papers to note—. I take it that all Members are content. Yes, lovely, they are.&lt;/p&gt;</contribution_verbatim>
