Lords ChamberMy Lords, the noble Baroness, Lady Campbell of Surbiton, is taking part remotely. I invite the noble Baroness to speak.
My Lords, before I speak to the amendments in this group, I say that I too have not received the letter sent by the noble and learned Lord, Lord Falconer, regarding amendments he proposes to return with, so I am somewhat in the dark today, should the content relate to remarks I am about to make now. Please would he check the distribution list, as such information is crucial to our deliberations, especially when one relies so heavily on remote participation for inclusion, as I do?

Lords ChamberMy Lords, the noble Baroness, Lady Campbell of Surbiton, is also taking part remotely. I invite the noble Baroness to speak.
My Lords, I support Amendments 127 and 141 in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady Wheeler; Amendment 143 in the name of my noble friend Lady Bull; and Amendments 144A and 182. Sadly, my noble friend Lady Bull is unwell, so I will speak to Amendment 143 and do my best to encapsulate her reasons, as well as mine, for returning to it on Report. I shall not move it later when it is called.
Unfortunately, at this hour, my voice is fading because I have had to use it a great deal today, so I shall use my speech facilitator, as allowed by the House, more than I would usually.
