My Lords, I am sure that the whole House will be aware that tomorrow is Armistice Day. At 11 tomorrow morning, the House will not be sitting. Members of the House, their staff and the staff of the House will nevertheless be going about their work outside the Chamber. I hope the House will agree that it is appropriate that we should observe the two minutes' silence at that time so that we might remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in giving their life for this country. If the House is content, instructions will be issued to heads of department, so that those members of staff who wish to observe the two minutes' silence should be enabled to do so.
