I pay tribute to Sally Carter, who has been with us for 36 years working for Lords Hansard and seen by all as a wonderful colleague. In that time, she has worked with no fewer than five editors, providing a steady hand and no doubt a calming and knowledgeable presence throughout the occasional IT crises. She was a screen corrector—we have seen many things corrected. She was also a proofreader—we have seen many things smoothed out in the reading—a personal assistant and, finally, gatekeeper for Written Answers and Questions. She was known to be efficient and effective in those important roles. The Lords Hansard team will not be the same without her, but we hope she enjoys a very happy and well-deserved retirement.
