The Lord Speaker (Lord Fowler)
My Lords, the Hybrid Sitting of the House will now begin. I should remind noble Lords that, whatever might be the rule elsewhere, the House of Lords will be sitting until Wednesday evening. The last opportunity for submitting a PNQ or an Urgent Question will be by noon tomorrow for answer on Wednesday. As for today, some Members are here in the Chamber respecting social distancing, while others are participating remotely, but all Members will be treated equally.
Oral Questions will now commence. Please can those asking supplementary questions keep them short and confined to two points? I ask, obviously, that Ministers’ answers are also brief.
