Baroness Goldie
I have to apologise; I simply could not hear the question. I am going to have to ask the noble Lord to write to me. I do not know what is going on outside but it is, to say the least, distracting.

My Lords, perhaps we should consider suspending proceedings until the noise has stopped because it is impossible to hear what we are doing.
Lord Taylor of Holbeach (Con)
My Lords, I believe that what has happened is that, because we are sitting early for a Wednesday, the builders who normally have a free run of the place are cleaning some of the stonework outside. I think we should adjourn the House for five minutes while this matter is sorted out.
