I have a very short statement to make. Particularly those members who are at the table will notice a new device that is there on the table. I wish to advise members that that relates to a project that has commenced to modernise the sound reinforcement equipment in the chamber. As part of the preliminary work for the project, an audio logger has been placed at the clerks table, as you can see. This device measures noise levels in the chamber and so will record the volume of what is said but will not record the words spoken. Noise levels in the chamber will be analysed throughout the day to better inform the project. The audio logger will be on the table for the next couple of days.
