Order. 

And welcome to today's meeting of the Science, Innovation and Technology Select Committee.  And we're very pleased that today we will be hearing for the second time both from the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, Liz Kendall, and from the Permanent Secretary to that department, Emran Mian.  I want to really start by thanking our witnesses and everyone here in this incredibly hot room in London.  So we'll try to keep the meeting to time and if it's necessary, we may take short breaks.  Now, Secretary of State, it's a little less than a year since you were appointed Secretary of State. 

And I just want to start by asking you what you see as your most significant achievements in that time.
