§ VISCOUNT STANSGATEMy Lords, I beg to ask the first Question which stands in my name on the Order Paper.
§ [The Question was as follows:
§ To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they can now make an 384 announcement concerning the proposal to record by television the Opening of the next Session of Parliament.]
THE EARL OF HOMEMy Lords, this matter is under consideration, and my right honourable friend the Prime Minister hopes to make an announcement before the Houses rises, which I shall repeat in this House.
§ VISCOUNT STANSGATEMy Lords, I thank the noble Earl for that reply.
