Letter from Black Rod’s SPS received 18:38 on 19th September Jakki Perodeau SPS to Black Rod, and Clerk to the Lord Great Chamberlain. I am writing on behalf of Black Rod who is presently away from the office to apologise on his behalf for the fact that he will be unable to address Fetcham U3A on 25th October. The reason for this being ceremonial duties within the House of Lords. Nine new "people's" Peers have been announced by the Crown and will be introduced into the House of Lords commencing 12th October. Regrettably one of the introduction dates chosen by the Crown is 25th October and Black Rod as you know has a leading role in such ceremonies. Black Rod is, as yet, unaware of this clash of dates. He returns to the office next week.
