It was a forbear of my noble friend Lord Effingham who led our resistance to the Spanish Armada. It was a Member of this House, Viscount Nelson, who fell in his country’s service at Trafalgar. It was the grandson of a Duke—Sir Winston Churchill—who stood at that Dispatch Box and rallied our country in the darkest days of the war. Indeed, it was at that same Dispatch Box that the grandfather of my noble friend Lord Attlee stood and carried the case for the creation of the NHS, to which my noble friend is a living memorial.
