Announcement
My Lords, immediately after consideration of Commons amendments to the Welfare Reform Bill, my noble friend Lord Adonis will repeat as a Statement an urgent Question allowed in the other place on passenger services on the First Capital Connect route from St Albans to London.
It may also be helpful to the House if I say a few words about the expected timing of Prorogation today. The House will adjourn after the Statement and resume at around 4 pm to receive a message from the other place. The timing of Prorogation will of course depend on decisions of the other place, but I will ensure that timings are displayed on the Annunciators in due course.
