§ Lord CarterMy Lords, in view of the grouping of amendments this afternoon on the Third Reading of the School Standards and Framework Bill, it has been agreed through the usual channels that the stages of that Bill will be completed before the dinner break this evening. As a result of that, the Unstarred Question in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Lester of Herne Hill, will be taken at the end of business. The Question will be allowed one-and-a-half hours instead of the usual one hour in the dinner break. Information on the timing of speeches in that debate is displayed on the speakers' list.
