Whitsun Adjournment

Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 May 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Whitsun Adjournment.
As a friend of Lord Burlison, I think I can say that his family will greatly welcome the hon. Gentleman's comments. Unassuming individual that he was, when he was ennobled in 1997 he then took a key role in organisations such as the Council of Europe. He took that seriously, and not only as an honour; as a working peer, he worked very hard. His passing will be mourned by many people of all political persuasions who knew him from his second career in the other place. May I conclude by wishing everyone a happy recess and a restful week off before returning to the fray in a fortnight's time?
