§ Baroness Jay of PaddingtonMy Lords, I beg to move the Motion standing in my name on the Order Paper. Perhaps I may take this opportunity to associate myself with the remarks made by my noble friend Lord Shepherd. I shall, of course, be sending a message to the noble Lord, Lord Mackay.
§ Moved, That the debate on the Motion in the name of the Baroness Walmsley set down for today shall be limited to three hours and that in the name of the Lord McNally to two hours.—(Baroness Jay of Paddington.)
§ Lord StrathclydeMy Lords, on behalf of the Opposition, I thank the noble Baroness and the noble Lord, Lord Shepherd. Obviously, we wait for news of the noble Lord, Lord Mackay of Ardbrecknish. We very much hope that when we return on Monday his health will be considerably better than it was in the early hours of this morning.
§ Lord Rodgers of Quarry BankMy Lords, those on the Liberal Democrat Benches would wish to be associated with such sentiments.
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
