Lord West of Spithead (Lab)
My Lords, talking of musicians, the Minister will be aware that, 214 years ago today, musicians were playing on the decks of the battleships of the British fleet as it bore down on the Franco-Spanish fleet. Will the Minister pass the regards of the House to the Royal Navy, who still protect the freedom of the seas for our nation, on this very special day for the naval service?
Baroness Williams of Trafford
I shall do that with gusto. Every time the noble Lord asks me a question, I am educated.
