Lord Davies of Oldham

My Lords, with the leave of the House, immediately following proceedings on the Borough Freedom (Family Succession) Bill, my noble and learned friend Lord Goldsmith will repeat a Statement which is being made in another place on Guantanamo Bay.

We shall then proceed with the Education Bill. At a convenient moment after 6.30 p.m., again with the leave of the House, my noble friend the Leader of the House will repeat a Statement which is being made in another place on Northern Ireland.

The dinner-break business will begin upon conclusion of that Statement. After the Northern Ireland order, we will immediately return to the Education Bill, so long as it is not before 8 p.m. Proceedings on the Bill will then continue until around 10 p.m. as usual.
