paul bosket very sadly died the sheer, very suddenly -- very suddenly this year at age 59. paul was one of the driving forces behind the u.k. youth parliament at the british youth council. he was passionate about the organization. he was full of enthusiasm. he was an example for others to follow, and he is very much list. today's proceedings will be broadcast live on the internet. i know you have had some preliminaries and i will keep them to an absolute minimum. i just want to say two things. those who wish to speak should stand in their place. when people stand constantly because they are trying to catch the speakers i, that's what i ask you to do as well. i hope you go -- i hope you won't mind when i say please speak only once. once you have spoken, although your enthusiasm is respected please don't try to get called again because i might accidentally call you again. you may have to stand a great deal before getting called and it's not possible to accommodate everybody but i will try to get as many contributors as possible, but once only for each person, please. second, y
