The noble Baroness has put forward reasons for having somebody to represent older people and I hear that. I am sure that by the time officials in my department have read Hansard they will have got the message, so please join the meeting. On the second part of the noble Baroness’s question, I am not able to commit to or confirm her request.

Would my noble friend agree that, if such a commissioner were appointed, he or she would have plenty of work in your Lordships’ House?
