During my career the House has been transformed, and I amglad to have been able to help that transformation. The small hereditary House which existed in1964 has become a successful and energetic second Chamber, and it is supported by staV who havesimilarly grown in number and professionalism. We are proud to contribute to the eVectiveness ofParliament and I hope that, in any further reforms, the undoubted strengths of the House of Lordswill be reinforced.

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

Yours ever,Paul Hayter
