§ Lord MayhewMy Lords, I beg to ask Her Majesty's Government the Question of which I have given Private Notice, namely:
"To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the Foreign and Commonwealth Secretary will defer his visit to Israel".
§ Lord DenhamMy Lords, in view of the fact that my noble friend the Foreign Secretary cannot be at the House today and that my noble friend Lord Trefgarne has only recently arrived at the House, I shall, with the leave of the House, arrange for my noble friend to answer this Question at a convenient moment after 3.30 this afternoon.
