Debate between Lord Lea of Crondall and Lord O'Shaughnessy

Thursday 18th January 2018 Lords Chamber

[Lord O'Shaughnessy]

My noble friend makes an extremely good suggestion and I look forward to talking to him about that. Perhaps he could lead such a class.

[Lord Lea of Crondall (Lab)]

My Lords, in addition to the suggestions that have been made, perhaps I could pass on a tip: playing tennis is quite good for this sort of thing.

[Lord O'Shaughnessy]

Indeed it is, as are other things such as yoga, tai chi and—believe it or not—carrying shopping bags.
