§ LORD DRUMALBYNMy Lords, I beg leave to ask a Question of which I have given Private Notice, namely:—
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will make a Statement on the situation with regard to the proposed shipping strike?
§ LORD SHEPHERDMy Lords, I hope that it will be convenient to the noble Lord and to the House if my noble friend Lord Champion gives the answer to that Question at about 3.30.
