Before I adjourn the House, can I say that while this is not my valedictory tonight, I am closing the House, which is a privilege that I have as the Deputy Speaker—normally the Speaker does that. I want to say that it is going to be an enormous privilege, as I enter my last week in this parliament, to be in this position to see the mace return the Speaker's office this evening.

House adjourned at 21:30
