My Lords, at a convenient moment after 3.30 this afternoon my noble friend Lord Davidson will, with the leave of the House, repeat a Statement that is to be made in another place on electricity privatisation.

It may be for the convenience of the House if I announce that the Report stage of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Bill will be adjourned at approximately 7 p.m. for approximately one hour and that during this adjournment the Second Reading of the Matrimonial Proceedings (Transfers) Bill and the Statistics of Trade and Employment (Northern Ireland) Order 1988 will be taken.
