Lord Winston (Lab)
Forgive me for interrupting; I do not want to take up time. The noble Lord is now giving us a lesson in Anglo-Saxon, Celtic, Latin and indeed Old German, as well as Middle English. We are missing the point. We need to move on, surely. He has been over 12 minutes on this speech, and it is beyond what we would accept at this stage of the day.
Lord Frost (Non-Afl)
I think I am allowed 15 minutes, actually. I do not think I mentioned Celtic either, just on a point of detail.
That aside, I was reaching—in fact, had already delivered—my peroration. I hope, as I said, the proponents might be open to some reflection on this point. Meanwhile, I beg to move.
