§ VISCOUNT ADDISONMy Lords, may I be allowed to intervene for a moment to make a special announcement which I am sure will be interesting to your Lordships? My noble and learned friend on the Woolsack and Mr. Speaker have been kind enough to agree to act as joint hosts at a reception at the Speaker's House on Tuesday, April 26, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., to which all Members of both Houses of Parliament are invited, and at which His Majesty's Government very much hope that all the Commonwealth Prime Ministers and their principal ministerial advisers attending the Conference will be present. Individual invitations will not be issued to Members of either House of Parliament, but my noble and learned friend and Mr. Speaker have asked me to express their earnest hope that as many of your Lordships as possible will accept this general invitation to Members of Parliament on Tuesday, April 26.
