Lord Blencathra (Con)
My Lords, I first seek clarification from the noble Lord, Lord Russell of Liverpool, on his sums. I do not do sums either but, if I heard him correctly, he said that a worker spends 50% of his life at work. If that is what I heard correctly, that is 84 hours a week.
Lord Russell of Liverpool (CB)
What I said was that a person fortunate enough to be employed spends on average 52% of one year in and around the workplace.
