Terrorism Bill

My Lords, Lord Ackner’s father was a dentist. He told me that his first ever successful case was a dental case. It may be because of that—although I think many other Members of the House were in the same position—that he was always willing to look at anything for me. He was enormously helpful on the high hedges issue and only last week spoke to me about it both before and after the Question. I shall miss him very much.
