I now turn to the report on the noble Lord, Lord Stone of Blackheath. The noble Lord was found to have bullied two security officers at the subway entrance. They had asked him to move his suitcase, which he had left unattended by the entrance, and I hope the whole House will agree that his abusive response was unacceptable. The commissioner recommended that the noble Lord be suspended for six months, and despite the noble Lord’s appeal, the Conduct Committee endorsed this recommendation.
