§ Lord CarterMy Lords, at a convenient moment after 3.30 p.m., my noble and learned friend Lord Falconer of Thoroton will, with the leave of the House, repeat a Statement being made in another place on the rail strategic plan. It is likely that the Statement will be repeated after the speech of the right reverend Prelate the Bishop of Hereford and before the speech of the noble Lord, Lord Jopling.
I am sure that I speak for the whole House when I say how pleased I am to see present the noble Baroness, Lady Blatch, after her recent illness.
