If the noble Lord wants to raise a question about the Economic Affairs Committee, I shall, if I may, first move the first two Motions standing in my name on the Order Paper.

My Lords, I apologise to the Chairman of Committees that I did not give him prior notice. It is not that I object to any name on any of these committees, but is there a likelihood that this House will move toward electing the chairs and members of our Select Committees?

That is another question. It has nothing to do with today's business, but it is being looked at. The Leader of the House has made an announcement about a review of our practices, and that will no doubt be included in that. Perhaps I can come back to the noble Lord, Lord Brooke of Alverthorpe, in a moment, when we come to the Economic Affairs Committee. I will answer his question then.
