Finally, I join the Government Chief Whip in paying tribute to the usual channels. Contrary to appearances sometimes, we work very well together. I mentioned at this Dispatch Box last year the Government Chief Whip’s lack of biscuit provision in meetings, which has continued. It has done something for my waistline, but nothing to dint the usual operation of the usual channels. I wish all staff and noble Lords a very happy Christmas, and I look forward to working with everyone in the new year.
