        I agree with the sentiments my noble friend expresses.
My Lords, last time I asked my noble friend this question he said that “shortly” would be “soon”. Is it any sooner?

        I suspected this question might come up, so I have been thumbing through my thesaurus, which is quite well read. All I can say is that perhaps “shortly” will also mean “imminently”.
