Proceeding contribution from Lord West of Spithead (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 12 February 2009. It occurred during Private notice question on Geert Wilders.


Geert Wilders

My Lords, I am afraid that I do not know the answer to that. I shall have to come back to the noble Lord in writing, if I may. I do not like making excuses, but I was aware of this Question only about 23 minutes ago and there were two Questions in between. I feel rather like Eugene Esmonde, who, 67 years ago today, flew a few Swordfish at the ““Gneisenau””, ““Scharnhorst”” and ““Prinz Eugen””; he got a VC for doing it but, sadly, he was lost. I feel that I am similarly stepping into the breach; I do not know the answer and I will get back to the noble Lord in writing.
