I wonder whether King’s consent comes in now. Anyway, I beg to move.

A member of the most excellent Privy Council has to give King’s consent, so I suggest that the House adjourn during pleasure for two minutes so that a privy counsellor can join the Government Front Bench.

Sitting suspended.

Motion agreed.
