Lord Gardiner of Kimble (Con)
My Lords, our first business this afternoon is consideration of the Commons Reason on the Pensions Bill. After useful discussions in the usual channels, I hope that that business can be concluded by 4 pm. If not, I will at that point move that the House do adjourn until 5 pm to enable Members of this House with tickets to attend the address by the President of Ireland in the Royal Gallery. If we manage to finish the Pensions Bill before 4 pm, we will return at 5 pm for the Third Reading of the Water Bill.
