HL Deb 22 November 1999 vol 607 cc177-8
Lord Carter

My Lords, at a convenient moment after 3.30 p.m. my noble friend Lord Dubs will, with the leave of the House, repeat a Statement that is being made in another place on political progress in Northern Ireland. It may be for the convenience of the House to know that the Statement is likely to be taken immediately after the noble Baroness, Lady Hamwee, has spoken.

Lord Harris of Greenwich

My Lords, given the fact that the fourth Question on today's Order Paper unhappily was not asked, is there any indication that the Government will take an early opportunity to reply to the substance of the Question, because I believe there is a great deal of interest in the House as to what is the answer?

Lord Carter

My Lords, I should be entirely happy to provide a six-hour debate on the subject.
