The story gets better and better, believe me. The Hansard debate in the Lords on the matter. api.parliament.uk/historic-h… "Lord Charteris of Amisfield My Lords, I rise to support the amendment not simply because Captain Hook was an Old Etonian" and "Lord Ardwick My Lords, before my noble friend sits down perhaps I may ask him a question which is rather more personal than we are used to in this Chamber. Was he one of those cynical little boys who during the performance of Peter Pan refused to clap and so proclaim his belief in fairies and would have allowed poor Tinkerbell to expire? That is what he is doing this afternoon. §Lord Willis My Lords, I must tell my noble friend that one of my greatest friends was Tinkerbell." And: "Baroness Strange My Lords, J. M. Barrie once wrote that: When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies". On that basis, if on no other, we must all believe in fairies. It may come as a surprise to your Lordships that I have seen a fairy. She was a tooth fairy and she bore a remarkable resemblance to my noble relative, my mother. From time to time my children have also seen this same fairy, but they thought that she rather resembled me. Fairies come in many guises, not only in tinsel dresses and with gauze wings. At all events they are little people who grant wishes and do good deeds around the world. We can do no greater good or give more lasting happiness than by accepting this amendment that has been put forward by the noble Lord, Lord Callaghan, so that the money from Peter Pan, J. M. Barrie's own play about fairies, can go for ever to the sick children of the Great Ormond Street Hospital, and in future ensure that every time one of those children laughs more fairies are born to create more joy in the world." Just marvellous.
