Lord GORONWY-ROBERTS

My Lords, I beg to ask Her Majesty's Government the Question of which I have given Private Notice, namely:

"To ask Her Majesty's Government whether, following the assassination last night in Salisbury of a candidate of one of the main political parties, they will make a statement on the progress of the cease-fire and the preparation for the elections".

Lord DENHAM

My Lords, with the leave of the House my noble friend Lord Trefgarne will answer that Question in the form of a Statement at a convenient moment after 3.30.
