Powers of Entry etc. Bill [HL]

As the noble Lord knows, we are not out of order in utilising Latin in this House historically. I took advice. My suggestion is that we should not debate many of these amendments and allow the Minister at the end to say something. I propose to say something at the end. I can promise your Lordships that as these matters go further numerous things will be taken into account, including all the amendments of my noble friend. As your Lordships’ know, he joined the House in 1962 and I joined only in 1963. He is therefore infinitely senior to me and we respect him. He also introduced some of the legislation which gave powers of entry but he cannot remember which. That is all I have to say on this.
