Lord Young of Cookham
Cell broadcasting does not run the risks of congestion on the network that the previous system, SMS, did.
Lord Foulkes of Cumnock (Lab Co-op)
My Lords, confession is good for the soul, even for Ministers. Can the Minister be absolutely precise about whether the workshop to which he referred was planned before or after my noble friend Lord Harris tabled his Question?
Lord Young of Cookham
I am flattered that the noble Lord thinks that I have such influence that the moment a Question is tabled to me, I immediately ask for a workshop to be established. The workshop was planned before the noble Lord tabled his Question.
