[Lord Lang of Monkton]

That an humble Address be presented to Her Majesty as follows:

My Lords, we have a long speakers list today. I should be grateful if colleagues who are not staying for the debate will leave the Chamber quietly so that my noble friend the Minister may begin the opening speech shortly.
