Prayers were read by the Lord Bishop of Chelmsford

1    Royal Assent The Lord Speaker (Baroness Hayman) notified the Queen’s Assent to the following Acts:

Appropriation Act    c 1

Planning-gain Supplement (Preparations) Act    c 2

Income Tax Act    c 3

2    Clerk of the Parliaments The Lord President (Baroness Amos) acquainted the House that she had received the following letter from Mr Paul Hayter, Clerk of the Parliaments:

Dear Lord President,

I would be grateful if you could inform the House that I have asked the Prime Minister to inform Her Majesty The Queen of my intention to retire from the office of Clerk of the Parliaments with effect from Saturday 3rd November 2007, the eve of my 65th birthday. The Prime Minister has confirmed that Her Majesty has been informed.

By November I shall have served the House of Lords for more than 43 years, including nearly 4½ years as Clerk of the Parliaments. During my career the House has been transformed, and I am glad to have been able to help that transformation. The small hereditary House which existed in 1964 has become a successful and energetic second Chamber, and it is supported by staff who have similarly grown in number and professionalism. We are proud to contribute to the effectiveness of Parliament and I hope that, in any further reforms, the undoubted strengths of the House of Lords will be reinforced.

The mutual respect and friendship of Members and staff have made the House of Lords a very happy place in which to work, and I count myself lucky to have enjoyed such a privilege. Please convey to all Members of the House my thanks for their friendship and support over the years.

Yours ever,
Paul Hayter

The letter was read and ordered to lie on the Table.
