My Lords, before Public Business begins, may I take the opportunity to inform the House that I shall be undertaking ministerial visits to Manchester and Bolton on Monday, 6th October and Thursday, 9th October respectively? Accordingly, I trust that the House will give me leave of absence.
Public Business is the main business of the day that follows questions, urgent questions and statements.
