My Lords, I regret to inform the House of the death of the noble Lord, Lord Elder, on 24 October. I am sure that the whole House will wish to join me in paying tribute to, and thanking, the staff and Members of the House, and the London Ambulance Service, who provided immediate assistance to Lord Elder when he became unwell yesterday evening, ensuring that he could be transferred to hospital, where he sadly later died. On behalf of the House, I extend our condolences to the noble Lord’s family and friends.
