§ LORD ROWLEYMy Lords, I beg to ask the following Question, of which I have given Private Notice:
§ To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will make a statement on the capture and present safety of the two British pilots at present detained in Algeria.
§ LORD SHEPHERDMy Lords, with permission, my noble friend Lord Walston will seek to answer this Question by way of a Statement at a convenient moment after 3.30 p.m.
My Lords, we intend to adjourn the Report stage of the Criminal Justice Bill at about 7.30 p.m. Suppers will be available. After a break of about one hour we shall return to the Report stage, and sit until about 10 to 10.30 p.m.
In view of the heavy programme now in front of the House up to the end of July, it has been arranged that from Monday and on all sittings days suppers should be available in our own Restaurant. If noble Lords wish to entertain, I think it would be of convenience to the management if the tables were booked.
