I remind the House that tomorrow, Tuesday 11 November, is Armistice day. At 11 o’clock tomorrow, I regard it as appropriate that we, and staff working for us, should join the nation in observing the two-minute silence so that we might remember those who gave their lives for their country to help preserve our democratic freedoms. Instructions will be issued to the heads of House Departments so that those members of staff who wish to observe the two-minute silence may do so.
