My Lords, I am not sure whether all the speakers are here for the Unstarred Question. I think that we should adjourn during pleasure until 5.45 p.m. so that the speakers can be found and we can proceed with the Unstarred Question.

Moved accordingly and, on Question, Motion agreed to.

[The Sitting was suspended from 5.29 to 5.45 p.m.]

My Lords, the Unstarred Question is being taken at the end of business and is limited to one-and-a-half hours rather than one hour. Therefore, speakers may speak for a little longer than indicated on the speakers' list.
