Part of the debate – in the House of Lords at 10:15 pm on 17 January 2007.
I have said on many occasions that I believe that, if there are no other good reasons for the existence of this House, it is to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. On this occasion, I merely wish to congratulate the noble Baroness, Lady Wilkins, on providing a service to Members of another place who clearly are in that position.
