My Lords—

My Lords, it is time for the Cross Benches, and then we will come to the noble Lord, Lord Richard.

[Baroness Quin (Lab)]

My Lords—

I apologise to the noble Baroness. We have had 20 minutes of Back-Bench debate on this and we will now move on to the next Statement.

[Lord Foulkes of Cumnock (Lab)]

Extend the time.

Order, order.

[Lord Foulkes of Cumnock]

My Lords—

[The Earl of Courtown]

My Lords, will the noble Lord give way? The whole House is perfectly aware of his thoughts on this matter but, in this instance, we are moving on to the other Statement now.
