§ LORD SHEPHERDMy Lords, may I make a short Business statement? At a suitable moment after 3.30 p.m. my noble friend Lord Shackleton will be making a Statement on the Defence Review.
The House will also be aware that the Order Paper to-day is particularly heavy, and I wonder whether noble Lords would bear that in mind. The House will adjourn during pleasure between 7.30 and 8.30 p.m., and it is hoped to adjourn for the conclusion of Business at 10 p.m. Dinner will be available.
