§ Baroness LLEWELYN-DAVIES of HASTOEMy Lords, since this is the last sitting day of this parliamentary Session, I hope, with the leave of the House, that we on these Benches may send best wishes to noble Lords in all parts of the House, and say how very much we look forward to seeing them again and in the same juxtaposition as we find ourselves today.
