Q1. Which of the proxy advisers covered us this year and did any recommend a vote against any of today's resolutions, including this remuneration report item? If so, what reasons did they give and did this translate into any material protest votes? Please don't say they are confidential. It is standard for companies to be across this detail on the voting recommendations and inform shareholders where relevant and I could show you examples of more than 50 chairs responding positively to this question.
Answer: waiting for webcast but the biggest protest was 14.5% against rem report.
Q2. PwC has been our external auditor since we listed 28 years ago. How many competitive tenders have we run over that period and when are we next planning to run a competitive tender for the external audit service? Does the chair expect PwC to still be our external auditor in 2030?
Answer: waiting for webcast. Watch video of exchange via Twitter.
