Lord Balfe (Con)
I rise briefly to supplement the explanation given by the Chief Whip yesterday as to why I was not able to ask the fourth Oral Question. There was, I am afraid, a bit of a mix-up; I put down to ask the fourth Question today. Yesterday I was lecturing in Cambridge and could not possibly change the lecture. I discovered far too late that I was expected to do the Question yesterday. This was no one’s fault. I am blaming no one, but I would like the House to accept my apology for my part in this mix-up.
