		In common with other City of London Livery Companies, the Cordwainers Company was, in the early and middle ages, responsible for the governance and quality control of its trade in the City of London.

		My Lords, the noble Lord has reminded me that I should have declared an indirect interest as a member of the Farmers' Company.
