§ The LORD PRIVY SEAL (Lord Peart)My Lords, before I move the Motion standing in my name, may I express, on behalf of the whole House, our welcome to the return to health of the Clerk of the Parliaments, and to his presence here?
§ Lord PEARTMy Lords, may I now move the Motion standing in my name on the Order Paper. In doing so, I should like to point out that there is an error on the Order Paper. The mark in italics at the beginning of the Order Paper indicates incorrectly that the Pensioners Payments Bill is not expected to be debated. In fact, the Bill is marked on the Order Paper to indicate that it has been set down before expiry of the recommended minimum interval between stages. This is a printer's error, and I hope that it has not caused any inconvenience. My Lords, I beg to move.
§ Moved, That Standing Order No. 43 (No two stages of a Bill to be taken on one day) be suspended for the purpose of taking the Pensioners Payments Bill through all its remaining stages this day.— (Lord Peart.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
