§ The Lord Chancellor (Lord Mackay of Clashfern)My Lords, before the commencement of business, I take the opportunity to inform the House that I am to visit the judges and staff at the Crown Court at Chelmsford and Chelmsford County Court tomorrow, and that I have accepted an invitation to attend the Tynwald Ceremony on Tuesday, 5th July. Accordingly, I trust that the House will agree to grant me leave of absence for tomorrow and for Tuesday, 5th July.
