HL Deb 11 November 1987 vol 489 cc1416-7
Lord Denham

My Lords, with the leave of the House, I should like to make a further business statement. I originally announced that the standard time for noble Lords taking part in the debate of my noble friend Lord Selkirk, which will follow shortly, was 12½ minutes per Peer. That figure was the result of an instant mathematical calculation on my being informed that the noble and learned Lord, Lord Denning, was no longer taking part.

I have since learnt that the name of the noble Lord, Lord Airedale, was wrongly omitted from the list, for which I must apologise to him and to the House. The standard time per Peer is now 11 minutes.
