Lord McFall of Alcluith Excerpts

Monday 27th February 2023 Lords Chamber

[The Lord Speaker (Lord McFall of Lalith)]

My Lords, I regret to inform the House of the death of the noble Baroness, Lady Boothroyd, yesterday. She made a most valued and significant contribution to both Houses in a parliamentary career spanning almost 50 years—serving this House with distinction for 22 of those. She was an integral part of our parliamentary community and will be sadly missed. On behalf of the House, I extend our condolences to the noble Baroness’s family and friends.
