Multi-cultural Britain

My Lords, I thank all noble Lords for their contributions during the course of the debate. I, for one, have learnt an immense amount which has added to a rich, deep, valuable and significant debate. I shall conclude with two quick sentences. The first is to ask the House to continue to fight the inclination to boredom on this range of issues and to believe that once we have said it, we have done it. The second is to call on the G8 leaders, whom I am sure have paused this afternoon to follow our debate with due aplomb, to put as much effort into tackling contemporary slavery as they put into tackling terrorism, and to keep Africa in the centre of their minds, year on year, until the battle is won and the issue is done. I beg leave to withdraw the Motion for Papers. Motion for Papers, by leave, withdrawn.
