| 503 | BANKS AND BANKING (S.I., 2009, No. 3226) | 15:12:09 |
| Jim Cousins | | Lynne Jones | | Mr Dai Davies | | Mr David Drew | | Jeremy Corbyn | | Colin Burgon |
| That an humble Address be presented to Her Majesty, praying that the Northern Rock plc Transfer Order 2009 (S.I., 2009, No. 3226), dated 8 December 2009, a copy of which was laid before this House on 8 December, be annulled. |
| 529 | AL-MUHAJIROUN DEMONSTRATION | 5:1:10 |
| Mr Nigel Evans | | Mr James Gray | | Mr Lindsay Hoyle | | Mr Paul Keetch | | Peter Luff | | Mr Brian Binley |
| | Hazel Blears | Dr William McCrea | Colin Burgon | | | Mr Neil Gerrard | Frank Cook | Ms Katy Clark |
| That this House notes that Anjem Choudary, the UK leader of al-Muhajiroun, plans to stage a march through Wootton Bassett town carrying empty coffins as a protest against Britain's presence in Afghanistan; considers that such a demonstration would be a gross mark of disrespect to the soldiers who have died or been wounded in Afghanistan, their families and those who continue to fight on active service in Afghanistan; believes that such a march would cause great distress to those who have lost loved ones; further notes that the Muslim Council of Britain has described the proposed march as `deplorable'; calls on the Home Secretary urgently to investigate the breaching of public order and other related offences; and urges Wootton Bassett Town Council and Wiltshire Police to ensure that any proposed demonstration that breaches the Public Order Act 1986 be rightly refused. |
| 530 | TRAFFICKING HOTLINE | 5:1:10 |
| Jo Swinson | | Mrs Ann Cryer | | Andrew George | | Bob Russell | | Peter Bottomley | | Bob Spink |
| | Mr Neil Gerrard | Frank Cook | Mark Durkan | | | Ms Katy Clark |
| That this House notes with deep concern the numbers of women and girls trafficked into the UK for commercial sexual exploitation and the inadequate availability of specialist resources for them; welcomes the Government's new strategy, Tackling violence against women, and the introduction of a 24-hour sexual violence helpline; and calls for the advertising of this hotline to be required as part of the sex establishment licence for all sexual entertainment venues in the UK to ensure maximum numbers of victims can be identified and offered the crucial early care they require. |
| 531 | SPECULATIVE BANKING | 5:1:10 |
| Alun Michael | | John McFall | | Mark Durkan | | Mr Andrew Dismore | | Mr Martin Caton | | John Austin |
| That this House notes the enormous damage that the international banking crisis has done to jobs, businesses and public finances and to some of the world's poorest people; recognises the substantial and continuing resources provided by taxpayers to support banks; acknowledges that an important part of this crisis was caused by a number of traditional deposit taking retail banks becoming involved either directly or indirectly with speculative, casino-style, investment banking; welcomes the support of all political parties for continuing to provide a government guarantee for retail deposits held in banks; further notes that when banks are systemically important it is the taxpayer rather than the shareholder who carries the ultimate risk; supports much stronger regulation of banks to help prevent such a crisis in the future; recognises that, given constant financial innovation, regulation on its own will never be completely successful in always preventing massive losses on speculative `casino-type' investment banking; further acknowledges that in a bank that combines speculative investment banking and traditional retail banking, massive losses on the speculative side would threaten its retail deposits thus necessitating taxpayers to rescue such a combined bank; and therefore calls on the Government in its forthcoming banking legislation to separate speculative casino banking from traditional retail banking and, as well as leading by example, to encourage a similar approach internationally. |
| 533 | NATIONAL LUNG CANCER AUDIT | 5:1:10 |
| Sandra Gidley | | Andrew George | | Bob Russell | | Peter Bottomley | | Mr Lee Scott | | Bob Spink |
| | Dr William McCrea | John Barrett | Frank Cook | | | Mark Durkan | Mrs Janet Dean |
| That this House notes the publication of the National Lung Cancer Audit 2009 which identifies wide regional variations in the active treatment of lung cancer and patients' access to specialist lung cancer nurses; is concerned by the Audit's findings that only half of lung cancer patients are currently seen by a lung cancer specialist nurse and that only a quarter of patients have a nurse specialist present to give them support when receiving their diagnosis; welcomes the publication of the United Kingdom Lung Cancer Coalition's Lung Cancer Review, which benchmarks progress and makes recommendations for change across important aspects of lung cancer, including prevention and awareness, diagnosis and treatment, workforce capacity, data collection and research; and calls on the Government to work with the UK Lung Cancer Coalition and its members to help deliver the ambitious but achievable aim of doubling lung cancer survival in the UK. |
| 534 | PROPOSED CLOSURE OF RAF COTTESMORE | 5:1:10 |
| Mr Alan Duncan | | Nick Harvey | | Bob Russell | | Peter Bottomley | | Bob Spink | | Mr Paul Keetch |
| | Dr William McCrea | Frank Cook |
| That this House regrets the Ministry of Defence's decision to close RAF Cottesmore, home to the Harrier Force as part of changes to the defence programme announced in December 2009; notes the decision pre-empts the Government's prior pledge to consider the capabilities and configuration of the armed forces as part of a Strategic Defence Review; expresses concern at the considerable impact the closure of RAF Cottesmore will have on the community in Rutland; and calls on the Government to postpone the closure of RAF Cottesmore until the conclusion of the Strategic Defence Review. |
| 535 | NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE (S.I., 2009, No. 3112) | 5:1:10 |
| Mr Nick Clegg | | Dr Vincent Cable | | Norman Lamb | | Sandra Gidley | | Greg Mulholland | | Mr Paul Burstow |
| That an humble Address be presented to Her Majesty, praying that the Care Quality Commission (Registration) Regulations 2009 (S.I., 2009, No. 3112), dated 26 November 2009, a copy of which was laid before this House on 30 November, be annulled. |
| Richard Burden | | Mr Colin Breed | | Peter Bottomley | | Dr Brian Iddon | | Dr Phyllis Starkey | | Martin Linton |
| | Frank Cook | Mark Durkan | Mrs Janet Dean | | | Laura Moffatt | Ms Katy Clark |
| That this House calls for the immediate lifting of the blockade of the Gaza Strip, which 12 months on from Israel's invasion of the territory continues to prevent both the unfettered distribution of humanitarian aid and the reconstruction of Gaza's shattered infrastructure; notes that Operation Cast Lead, launched on 27th December 2008, killed 1,300 Palestinians, including 340 children, damaged or destroyed 50,000 homes, 280 schools and kindergartens, as well as numerous hospitals; further notes that under Israel's blockade essential food items and fuel are routinely prevented from entering the territory, whilst over two-thirds of the population live in poverty and require United Nations aid merely to survive; highlights the fact that many Palestinians, now suffering in the grip of winter, are forced to live in temporary shelters or partially destroyed homes; and calls on the Government to apply meaningful pressure upon Israel to abide by UN Security Council Resolution 1860 and end this flagrant abuse of international law. |
| 537 | UNDER 18 YEAR OLDS AND SUNBEDS | 5:1:10 |
| Julie Morgan | | Miss Julie Kirkbride | | Mrs Siân C. James | | Mr John Baron | | Frank Dobson | | Dr Evan Harris |
| | Dr William McCrea | Colin Burgon | Frank Cook | | | Mark Durkan | Mrs Janet Dean |
| That this House expresses concern that under 18 year olds are able to access easily unsupervised sunbed salons; further expresses strong concern that malignant melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer, is increasing at an alarming rate across the UK; notes with concern that the International Agency for Research on Cancer has re-classified sunbeds into its highest cancer risk category alongside tobacco; further notes research commissioned by Cancer Research UK found that in 2008-09 six per cent. of 11 to 17 year olds have used sunbeds; further notes that the research also found that 50 per cent. of 15 to 17 year old girls in Liverpool and Sunderland have used a sunbed; recognises that 87 per cent. of the UK public believe under 18 year olds should not use sunbeds, with 90 per cent. supporting sunbed salons being staffed; welcomes the private Member's Sunbed (Regulation) Bill which would make it an offence for an operator to allow under-18s to use sunbeds; and calls on hon. Members of both Houses to support legislation to protect children from sunbeds. |
| 538 | CONTAMINATED BLOOD (SUPPORT FOR AFFECTED AND BEREAVED PERSONS) BILL [LORDS] | 5:1:10 |
| Mr Edward O'Hara | | Alistair Burt | | Dr Brian Iddon | | Jessica Morden | | Jenny Willott | | Bob Spink |
| | Sir Gerald Kaufman | Dr William McCrea | Colin Burgon | | | Robert Key | Frank Cook | Paul Holmes | | | Mr Denis Murphy | Mark Durkan | Ann Winterton | | | Sir Nicholas Winterton | Mrs Janet Dean | Mark Hunter | | | Ms Katy Clark | Mr Bob Laxton | Mark Lazarowicz |
| That this House most warmly welcomes the Contaminated Blood (Support for Infected and Bereaved Persons) Bill [Lords] with its provisions for the relief of privation for those afflicted and bereaved through treatment with contaminated NHS blood and blood products; and calls on the Government and hon. Members of all parties and of none to ensure this humane Bill's passage into law in this session of Parliament. |
| 539 | BLACKPOOL'S ENTERTAINMENT HERITAGE AND THE CRITCHLOW COLLECTION | 5:1:10 |
| Mr Gordon Marsden | | Geraldine Smith | | Bob Spink | | Mark Hunter | | Mrs Joan Humble | | John Mann |
| | Kelvin Hopkins | David Lepper | Colin Burgon | | | Frank Cook | Mrs Janet Dean |
| That this House celebrates Blackpool's acquisition of a unique collection of over 20,000 items of entertainment and theatre memorabilia covering the town's history from the 1860s to 1990s and collected by the late Cyril Critchlow, working magician and champion of that heritage; welcomes the collection's official opening in Blackpool's Central Library by legendary comedian Ken Dodd; pays tribute to the generosity of Cyril's family for donating the collection and to Blackpool Council for acquiring it and to all those involved with the project, particularly local history librarian Tony Sharkey and Professor Vanessa Toulmin of Sheffield University's National Fairground Archive; and further welcomes all the work being done to celebrate Blackpool's heritage, including that of Carl Carrington at Blackpool Council, Elaine Smith at the Civic Trust and all their colleagues as the town prepares to celebrate that heritage on the new Tower Headland being built with support from the Government's Sea Changes programme. |
| 540 | CROWN DEPENDENCIES AND REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY | 5:1:10 |
| Andrew Rosindell | | Mr James Arbuthnot | | Mr John Whittingdale | | Mrs Eleanor Laing | | Mr Henry Bellingham | | Tim Loughton |
| | Keith Vaz | Dr William McCrea | Frank Cook | | | Mrs Janet Dean |
| That this House recognises the enormous contribution by members of Her Majesty's armed services from each of the Crown Dependencies in wars and conflicts over the years, fighting for Queen, or King and Country; believes that the sacrifices of all these brave men and women should be fully acknowledged in a similar way to members of the Commonwealth of Nations, by granting representatives from the Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney and Sark the right to lay a wreath in their own right at the annual Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, each year on Remembrance Sunday; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to ensure that all the appropriate arrangements for this to happen are in place in time for Remembrance Sunday to be held on 14 November 2010. |
| 541 | BRITISH OVERSEAS TERRITORIES AND REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY | 5:1:10 |
| Andrew Rosindell | | Mr James Arbuthnot | | Mr John Whittingdale | | Mrs Eleanor Laing | | Mr Henry Bellingham | | Tim Loughton |
| | Dr William McCrea | Frank Cook | Mrs Janet Dean |
| That this House recognises the enormous contribution by members of Her Majesty's armed services from each of the British Overseas Territories in wars and conflicts over the years, fighting for Queen, or King and Country; believes that the sacrifices of all these brave men and women should be fully acknowledged in a similar way to members of the Commonwealth of Nations, by granting representatives from Ascension Island, Anguilla, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Montserrat, Pitcairn Islands, St. Helena, Tristan da Cunha, Turks and Caicos Islands, the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia, British Antarctic Territory, British Indian Ocean Territory, South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands the right to lay a wreath in their own right at the annual Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, each year on Remembrance Sunday; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to ensure that all the appropriate arrangements for this to happen are in place in time for Remembrance Sunday to be held on 14 November 2010. |
| 542 | VICTIMISATION IN THE WORKPLACE | 6:1:10 |
| Mr David Anderson | | Mr David Drew | | Kelvin Hopkins | | Lynne Jones | | Alan Simpson | | Paddy Tipping |
| | Ms Diane Abbott | Colin Burgon | Frank Cook | | | Mrs Ann Cryer | Mark Durkan | Mrs Janet Dean | | | Ms Katy Clark | Mr Lindsay Hoyle | John McDonnell |
| That this House recognises that people who are victimised in the workplace or treated unfairly in the recruitment process need to be able to challenge employers and seek redress; understands that a very small number of serial litigants are abusing this right for financial gain and condemns their actions; does not accept that these individuals are a big problem, and does not believe that measures designed to expose them should jeopardise the employment prospects of the vast majority of genuine victims; further condemns the launch of a website by Gordon Turner of Partners Employment Lawyers and Damian McCarthy from Cloisters Chambers which allows employers to find out if a person has taken an employer to tribunal in the past; believes that such a website could be used to screen unfairly applicants who have legitimately taken their employer to tribunal in the past, which runs contrary to the Government's progress on dealing with the victimisation of trade union members; is concerned that such a website would be in breach of data protection laws; and calls on the Information Commissioner's Office to investigate whether the website is compliant with the Data Protection Act. |
| John Hemming | | Peter Bottomley | | Mr Adrian Sanders | | Mr David Drew | | Mr Paul Keetch | | Nick Harvey |
| | Mr Colin Breed | Frank Cook | Mrs Ann Cryer | | | Mr Lindsay Hoyle | John McDonnell |
| That this House notes that on 3 January 2010 89 million cubic metres of gas were withdrawn from storage notwithstanding the fact that demand was below 400 million cubic metres; expresses concern that stored gas is being used in preference to other gas sources; and calls on the Government urgently to review this matter to ensure that sufficient stored gas is available to maintain supply during the winter. |
| 545 | NATIONAL POLICY STATEMENTS | 6:1:10 |
| Mr Paul Truswell | | Mr David Drew | | Peter Bottomley | | Kelvin Hopkins | | Mr Gordon Prentice | | Lynne Jones |
| | Colin Burgon | Frank Cook | Mrs Ann Cryer | | | Mark Durkan | Ms Katy Clark | John McDonnell |
| That this House welcomes the Government's stated intention to enable proper parliamentary scrutiny and debate of National Policy Statements (NPSs); is concerned therefore that the current scrutiny process does not appear to adhere fully to the Government's commitments made earlier this year during debate on the Planning Bill; regrets that the Energy and Climate Change Select Committee's simultaneous scrutiny of all five NPSs has been compressed into an inordinately limited timescale that overlaps with the public consultation period; believes that NPSs and their legitimacy would be considerably strengthened by ensuring a process of select committee scrutiny for each individual National Policy Statement and by allowing the public consultation process to be completed before the parliamentary scrutiny process commences; considers that the public should be given meaningful opportunities to provide evidence or bring expert witness to bear particularly on site-specific NPSs; and calls on the Government to reconsider whether the current process provides the full and proper parliamentary scrutiny process to which such crucial documents should be subjected. |
| 546 | FOOD AID TO SOMALIA | 6:1:10 |
| Harry Cohen | | Peter Bottomley | | Mr David Drew | | Lynne Jones | | Alan Simpson | | Gwyn Prosser |
| | Kelvin Hopkins | Keith Vaz | Mr Colin Breed | | | Frank Cook | Mrs Ann Cryer | Mark Durkan | | | Mrs Janet Dean | Ms Katy Clark | John McDonnell |
| That this House expresses alarm at the suspension of the UN World Food Programme to Somalia following threats and attempted extortion by al-Shabaab militia extremists; notes that this could result in up to one million people facing starvation; considers this, the never-ending conflict and the strengthening of al-Qaeda groups in Somalia, to be the diabolical consequence of the misjudged US toppling of an Islamic government, which the world could have worked with, by the sponsoring of an Ethiopian invasion in December 2006; now considers that the best way to get vitally-needed food into the country is by an urgent, massive increased commitment of African Union troops for this purpose, but that this needs to be organised and fully funded by the international community, particularly Western governments; and calls on the Government to make this a high priority. |
| 547 | RELEASE OF SHAKER AAMER, LAST BRITISH RESIDENT IN GUANTÁNAMO | 6:1:10 |
| Martin Linton | | Mr Edward Davey | | Jeremy Corbyn | | John Austin | | Peter Bottomley | | Andrew George |
| | Keith Vaz | Mark Hunter | Mr Neil Gerrard | | | Frank Cook | David Lepper | Mrs Ann Cryer | | | Mark Durkan | Mrs Janet Dean | Ms Katy Clark | | | John McDonnell |
| That this House welcomes President Obama's commitment to close Guantánamo and his appeal to European countries to take in released detainees; supports the representations by the Government for the release and return of Shaker Aamer, the last British resident held in Guantánamo; notes that Mr Aamer has been detained for nearly eight years without trial or charge; further notes that he was a UK resident before his detention and that his wife and children have always lived in this country; and urges the Government to make renewed representations to the US to secure his release and return to this country. |
| 548 | TYPE 2 DIABETES AND VISCERAL FAT | 6:1:10 |
| Keith Vaz | | Peter Bottomley | | Mr Adrian Sanders | | Andrew George | | Mr David Drew | | Kelvin Hopkins |
| | Frank Cook | Mrs Ann Cryer | Mark Durkan | | | Mrs Janet Dean | Mark Hunter | Ms Katy Clark | | | Mr Lindsay Hoyle | John McDonnell |
| That this House notes with concern that a recent study into diabetes by GlaxoSmithKline has revealed a link between visceral fat - fat accumulated around internal organs - and type 2 diabetes; is concerned that a survey of 12,000 Europeans found most had no idea that being overweight could be attributed to being at risk of type 2 diabetes; further notes that 90 per cent. of people diagnosed with pre-diabetes are overweight or obese; commends a diabetes study by the University of Oxford that explores the genetic roots of type 2 diabetes; and calls on the Government to increase its efforts to raise the public's awareness of the link between weight and diabetes and to support further research into the area. |
| 549 | CONTINUING DETENTION OF BAHÁ'Í LEADERS IN IRAN | 6:1:10 |
| Lembit Öpik | | Peter Bottomley | | Andrew George | | Mr David Drew | | Dr John Pugh | | Kelvin Hopkins |
| | David Lepper | Mark Hunter | Frank Cook | | | Mrs Ann Cryer | Mark Durkan | Ms Katy Clark | | | Mr Lindsay Hoyle | John McDonnell |
| That this House notes the continuing apparent intention of the Iranian authorities to place seven leaders of the Bahá'í community on trial; further notes the appearance in various Iranian government-affiliated news agencies articles wrongly alleging that the Bahá'ís faith is among the groups fomenting civil unrest in Iran; fears this unfounded claim may nevertheless be used as a reason to take measures against these seven individuals; further notes reports of arrests and intimidation of other members of the Bahá'í community in Iran; and calls on the Government to approach the Iranian authorities to request the cancellation of the trial, and to seek assurances that any trial of Bahá'ís is always conducted in public, following the basic tenets of justice and fair trial. |
| 550 | FISCAL STRATEGY FOR NEW ENERGY EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGIES | 7:1:10 |
| Colin Challen | | Mr Peter Ainsworth | | Andrew Stunell | | Mr David Drew | | Tom Levitt | | Bob Spink |
| | Mr Martin Caton | Mark Hunter | Colin Burgon | | | Alan Simpson | John Barrett | Mrs Ann Cryer | | | Mark Durkan | Mrs Janet Dean | Ms Katy Clark | | | Mr Lindsay Hoyle |
| That this House notes the Chancellor of the Exchequer's words in the Pre-Budget Report on the need to implement measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; is concerned, however, that new and innovative technologies such as passive flue gas retention systems and voltage optimisation technologies do not benefit from the reduced value added tax rate of five per cent.; and therefore calls on the Chancellor to rectify this and also publish a fiscal strategy for assisting with new technologies in his next Budget. |
| 551 | BEAULY - DENNY POWER LINE | 7:1:10 |
| Mr Mike Weir | | Mr Alex Salmond | | David Cairns | | Jeremy Corbyn | | Lynne Jones | | Mr Alan Meale |
| | Alan Simpson | Frank Cook | John McDonnell |
| That this House welcomes the approval by the Scottish Government for the upgrade of the Beauly - Denny power line to harness, transmit and export Scottish renewable energy; notes that the upgrade will boost grid capacity along the line and unlock Scotland's onshore and offshore renewables potential; further welcomes the conditions set by Scottish Ministers to protect the interests of communities and minimise the impact on the environment along the line; and further notes that there are over 50 potential projects totalling around 4.2 gigawatts in the north of Scotland, two-thirds of peak Scottish demand, meaning that the Beauly - Denny upgrade will help unlock Scotland's renewable energy potential. |
| 552 | PRESCRIPTION CHARGES IN SCOTLAND | 7:1:10 |
| John Mason | | Mr Alex Salmond | | Mr Robert N. Wareing | | Bob Spink | | Frank Cook |
| That this House welcomes the reduction of prescription charges in Scotland to £3 on the way to their total abolition from 2011; recognises that the Scottish Government's action brings Scotland nearer to removing a tax on ill health that people needing medicines should not have to face; notes that the eventual abolition of prescription charges is in line with the founding principle of the NHS that it should be free at the point of delivery; further recognises that the greatest benefit of the policy is to people with long-term conditions who should not face ongoing financial penalties just because they are living with illness; congratulates the Welsh Assembly Government on having abolished prescription charges; and further notes that by leaving more money in people's pockets, the removal of prescription charges will play a part in Scotland's economic recovery. |
| 553 | ALLIED STEEL AND WIRE PENSIONS | 7:1:10 |
| Hywel Williams | | Adam Price | | Mr Elfyn Llwyd | | Peter Bottomley | | Mr Robert N. Wareing | | Derek Wyatt |
| | Kelvin Hopkins | Mr Martin Caton | Mr Alan Meale | | | Colin Burgon | Alan Simpson | Frank Cook | | | Ms Katy Clark | John McDonnell |
| That this House notes the recommendations of the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman, which state that former Allied Steel and Wire (ASW) workers should be paid 100 per cent. compensation for their pension losses; further notes that the workers' pensions would have been safe if the Government had provided the protections that it assured workers had been put in place; further notes that workers and pensioners in Northern Rock, Bradford and Bingley and other failed banks have had 100 per cent. protection for their pensions, despite the existence of a Pension Protection Fund since 2005 that never promised 100 per cent. replacement for failed company workers' pensions; and calls on the UK Government to ensure that the former ASW workers can receive 100 per cent. compensation for losses from their pension funds. |
| 554 | ICELANDIC DEBT AND ACCOUNTABILITY OF BANKERS | 7:1:10 |
| Mr Austin Mitchell | | Nick Harvey | | Jeremy Corbyn | | Kelvin Hopkins | | Colin Burgon | | Alan Simpson |
| That this House believes that the decision of the Icelandic President to refer his government's proposals to pay the large sums owing to the British and Dutch governments for compensation paid out to their citizens saving with Icesave is sensible, fair, and democratic in the light of the fact that both Icelandic citizens, and British citizens, were not consulted by their bankers about the irresponsible risk their banks were running and the enormous debts that resulted and should have a right to say whether these debts should be foisted on the people; considers that though the Government has paid massive compensation to its own irresponsible bankers, it is hardly reasonable to expect a more intimate and direct democracy to ask its people to shoulder bigger debts without their consent; suggests that rather than threatening Iceland the Government should accept that mistakes were made by British regulatory authorities as well as Icelandic regulators; and therefore considers that the Government should negotiate a revised deal with Iceland and come to sensible arrangements for sharing the burden, rather than imposing the whole of it on a nation whose economic health is in the UK's interests, and which therefore should not be crushed by an unsupportable burden of debt. |
| 556 | STUDENT FINANCE ENGLAND | 11:1:10 |
| Sir Gerald Kaufman | | Mr Lindsay Hoyle | | Paul Holmes | | Mr Andrew Dismore | | Bob Spink | | Mr Alan Meale |
| | Dr Brian Iddon | Colin Burgon | Alan Simpson | | | Frank Cook | Mr Robert N. Wareing | Mrs Ann Cryer | | | Mrs Janet Dean | Mark Hunter | Ms Katy Clark | | | John McDonnell |
| That this House condemns Student Finance England for its deplorable failure to deal competently and in a timeous manner with applications from students, thus causing hardship and difficulty to individuals and families; and calls on the Government to step in and penalise those responsible for this shambles. |
| 557 | LAUNCH OF STEVE SINNOTT FOUNDATION | 11:1:10 |
| Jacqui Smith | | Michael Gove | | Mr David Laws | | Richard Burden | | Hugh Bayley | | Mr Phil Willis |
| | Mr Andrew Dismore | Lynne Jones | Mr Alan Meale | | | Colin Burgon | Alan Simpson | Mr Martin Caton | | | Frank Cook | David Lepper | Mrs Ann Cryer | | | Ms Katy Clark | John McDonnell |
| That this House welcomes the cross-party support at the launch in Parliament on 1 December 2009 of the Steve Sinnott Foundation, a charity set up to promote the United Nations Millennium Development Goal 2 of universal primary education for all by 2015; notes that the Foundation will work with teachers worldwide to set up a global online community through which they can share knowledge and experience and help secure a primary education for the 75 million children who are denied the opportunity to attend school; and further notes that the work of the Foundation will continue the work and commitment of Steve Sinnott, the late General Secretary of the National Union of Teachers, who was passionate about the cause of primary education for all. |
| 558 | HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAY 2010 | 11:1:10 |
| Mr David Blunkett | | Mr Tim Boswell | | Sir Alan Beith | | Peter Luff | | Mr Lee Scott | | Mr Lindsay Hoyle |
| | Mr Andrew Dismore | Mr James Gray | Bob Spink | | | Mr Nigel Waterson | Lynne Jones | Mr Alan Meale | | | Dr Brian Iddon | Alan Simpson | Mr Martin Caton | | | Frank Cook | Nick Harvey | David Lepper | | | Mr Robert N. Wareing | David T. C. Davies | Mrs Ann Cryer | | | Mark Durkan | Mrs Janet Dean | Laura Moffatt | | | Mark Hunter | Ms Katy Clark | Mr Bob Laxton | | | John McDonnell |
| That this House notes that on 27 January 2010, communities around the UK will mark Holocaust Memorial Day, the 65th anniversary of the liberation of Nazi concentration and death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau; further notes that Legacy of Hope is the theme for Holocaust Memorial Day this year; considers that continuing the legacy of Holocaust survivors is more crucial than ever as they grow older and less able to speak out about their experiences; lauds the extraordinary contribution to life in Britain made by survivors; celebrates the tireless work of survivors who speak to thousands of young people each year as part of the Holocaust Educational Trust's outreach project; salutes their bravery and determination in telling of their painful and horrific experiences and speaking out for a future where persecution and intolerance are challenged; commends the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust for arranging the national Holocaust Memorial Day commemoration in London; congratulates the Holocaust Educational Trust for organising visits for post-16 students to Auschwitz-Birkenau, enabling thousands to see the site of the largest mass-murder in history at first hand; further notes that a Book of Commitment will be placed in the corridor between the Members' Cloakroom and Members' Staircase between the hours of 14.30 and 16.30 from Wednesday 20 January until Thursday 28 January 2010; and strongly encourages all right hon. and hon. Members to sign the Book and to support Holocaust Memorial Day to safeguard the memory of the Holocaust for future generations. |
| 559 | COLD WEATHER AND WINTER FUEL PAYMENTS | 11:1:10 |
| John Mason | | Mr Mike Weir | | Bob Spink | | Alan Simpson | | Frank Cook | | Mark Durkan |
| That this House calls on the Government to increase cold weather and winter fuel payments to pensioners and vulnerable households during the prolonged period of cold weather; notes warnings from leading charities such as Age Concern and Help the Aged that existing support will not be enough to prevent a soaring death rate among older people; expresses concern that cold weather and winter fuel payments have not kept pace with the soaring increases in domestic energy bills over recent years; understands that the combination of the extreme weather, increasing bills and the real difficulties people face because of the recession make the situation much worse than in previous years; and calls on the Government to increase its support for vulnerable households. |
| 560 | AMBASSADOR OF THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA | 11:1:10 |
| Keith Vaz | | Peter Bottomley | | Mr Andrew Dismore | | Mr Alan Meale | | Alan Simpson | | Mrs Ann Cryer |
| That this House congratulates Her Excellency Natalia Solcan, Ambassador for the Republic of Moldova, on her extremely successful tenure as Moldova's representative in the United Kingdom, which has now been completed; notes that since the beginning of her term in office in 2008, the two countries have maintained excellent relations; recognises that she is one of the youngest ambassadors to have served on behalf of her country; thanks her for all of her support in tackling human trafficking issues; and wishes Her Excellency all the best in her future endeavours. |
| 561 | TRANSFER OF POWERS TO THE SCOTTISH PARLIAMENT | 11:1:10 |
| Stewart Hosie | | Paul Flynn | | Lynne Jones | | Frank Cook |
| That this House welcomes the recommendations of the Calman Commission on Scottish Devolution that responsibility for the law across a range of areas be devolved to the Scottish Parliament; welcomes the recommendations for closer working between the Scottish and UK Ministers to ensure that the needs of Scotland are properly represented; and urges the UK Government to work with the Scottish Parliament to ensure that, where there is consensus, all such recommendations are implemented before the dissolution of the current UK Parliament. |
| Mr Peter Ainsworth | | Alan Simpson | | Mr Chris Mullin | | Gwyn Prosser | | Steve Webb | | Tim Farron |
| | Mr Andrew Dismore | Mr James Gray | Lynne Jones | | | Mr Alan Meale | Colin Burgon | Mr Martin Caton | | | Mr Colin Breed | Mr Adrian Sanders | Frank Cook | | | Mrs Ann Cryer | Mark Durkan | Ann Winterton | | | Mrs Janet Dean | Laura Moffatt | Mr Bob Laxton | | | John McDonnell |
| That this House congratulates Tracy Worcester on her film, Pig Business, highlighting the adverse health, animal welfare, environmental and economic impact of industrial pig production; calls on retailers, food manufacturers and food service operators to support British pig farmers by not selling or using imported pigmeat produced to lower animal welfare standards than those that are required in the UK; further calls on the Government to take a lead in persuading the EU to adopt the mandatory labelling of pigmeat as to farming method so that consumers can make informed choices; further calls on public sector bodies to procure only pigmeat that is free range or is produced to standards equivalent to those of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Freedom Food scheme; and further calls on the Government to ensure the proper enforcement of EU legislation on the welfare of pigs and to press other EU governments to do likewise. |
| 563 | GAS BALANCING ALERTS | 11:1:10 |
| John Hemming | | Peter Bottomley | | Paul Holmes | | Alan Simpson | | Mr Colin Breed | | Mr Adrian Sanders |
| That this House notes that the fourth gas balancing alert of 2010 was made on 11 January 2010; further notes that it was subsequent to a drop in imports of gas from Norway; expresses concern that there appears to be a continuing problem with maintaining imports; further notes that Medium Range Storage at 6 am on 11 January 2010 was at a level of only 53 per cent.; further notes that Short Range Storage may need to be removed from the capacity limit of the system, as there are close to two days remaining; and calls for the Government to give the matter detailed attention, potentially including discussions with the Norwegian government, to identify what may be done to maintain the UK's gas security. |
| 564 | HUMAN RIGHTS IN MALAWI | 11:1:10 |
| John Hemming | | Peter Bottomley | | Mr Andrew Dismore | | Lynne Jones | | Mr Alan Meale | | Alan Simpson |
| | Mr Martin Caton | Frank Cook | Mrs Ann Cryer | | | Mark Durkan | Laura Moffatt | John McDonnell |
| That this House notes the same-sex engagement ceremony in late December 2009 of Steven Monjeza and Tiwonge Chimbalanga; calls on the President of Malawi to ensure that they are released from jail and that all charges against them for homosexual relations are dropped; and calls on the government of Malawi to decriminalise homosexuality in accordance with the equality and non-discrimination clauses of the Malawian constitution and the African Charter on Human and People's Rights, and to ensure the human rights of all its citizens, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. |
| 565 | PRESCRIBED DISEASES AND THE USE OF PNEUMATIC PERCUSSION TOOLS | 11:1:10 |
| Mr Alan Meale | | Mr David Anderson | | Mr Ronnie Campbell | | Bill Etherington | | Mr Dennis Skinner | | Dr Rudi Vis |
| | Colin Burgon | Mr Martin Caton | Frank Cook | | | Mark Durkan | Mrs Janet Dean | Ms Katy Clark | | | Mr Bob Laxton |
| That this House is aware that UK legislation covering access to industrial injuries disablement benefits and appropriate compensation for noise-induced hearing loss is currently woefully inadequate, a factor proven by the exemption from valid claims of thousands of workers whose health has been damaged directly because of their employers use of pneumatic percussion tools to drill stone or other solid substances other than in the severely restricted confines of a quarry, underground coalmine, shaft or tunnelling works; believes such blatantly unfair legal discrimination should not be countenanced; and calls on the Government immediately to take all necessary steps to bring forward amendments to the Social Security Contribution and Benefits Act 1992 and thereafter accordingly to bring forward all necessary changes to the Social Security (Industrial Injuries) Prescribed Diseases Regulations. |
| 566 | BRITISH OVERSEAS TERRITORIES AND THE LAYING OF THE CENOTAPH WREATH | 11:1:10 |
| Mr Lindsay Hoyle | | Mr David Crausby | | Jim Dobbin | | Mr Alan Meale | | Mr Andrew Dismore | | Mr Martin Caton |
| | Mr Colin Breed | Mr David Clelland | Frank Cook | | | Mr Robert N. Wareing | Peter Bottomley | Laura Moffatt | | | Mr Bob Laxton | John McDonnell |
| That this House acknowledges and takes pride in the annual tradition of laying a wreath at the Cenotaph in Whitehall on Remembrance Sunday in recognition of the contribution made by members of Her Majesty's armed services from each of the British Overseas Territories; believes that the sacrifices of all these brave men and women would be most appropriately acknowledged by granting representatives from Ascension Island, Anguilla, Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, the Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Montserrat, Pitcairn Island, St Helena, Tristan da Cunha, the Turks and Caicos Islands, the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia, the British Antarctic Territory, the British Indian Ocean Territory, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands the right to lay a wreath at the annual Service of Remembrance; questions the practice of the wreath being laid by a Minister from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office; and calls on the Government to rectify this anomaly for Remembrance Sunday 2010. |
| 567 | ILLEGAL SONGBIRD MARKET IN CYPRUS | 12:1:10 |
| Mr Lindsay Hoyle | | Mr David Crausby | | Jim Dobbin | | Jeremy Corbyn | | Peter Bottomley | | Bob Spink |
| That this House is concerned by the growing illegal practice of trapping and eating songbirds in Cyprus; notes that thousands of birds migrating in search of warmer climates face being lured, killed and sold to restaurants as part of an illegal multi-million pound industry; believes it to be unacceptable that poachers are prolific on the British military base of Dhekelia; further notes the recent launch of Operation Freedom by the British authorities to tackle the matter and commends their limited success; and calls for further immediate and urgent action to be taken in collaboration with the Cypriot authorities to put an end to this illegal and cruel practice. |
| 568 | RUSSIA AND ENERGY CHARTER TREATY | 12:1:10 |
| Danny Alexander | | Mr David Drew | | Sir Malcolm Rifkind | | Mr Edward Davey | | Peter Bottomley | | Mark Durkan |
| That this House welcomes the recent ruling of the Arbitral Tribunal which sat at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague confirming that Russia was bound by the entire Energy Charter Treaty (ECT), having accepted full application (provisionally pending ratification), when it signed the Treaty; believes the ruling is a significant development in Russia's energy ties with the European Union that strengthens the case for the ECT to be the centrepiece of a rules-based relationship; notes that following Russia's withdrawal from provisional application of the ECT on 19 October 2009, investments existing on that date in the Russian energy sector will continue to be protected by the Treaty's investor protection rules for a further 20 years, but that new investments will no longer be protected; further notes that while Russian investors in the European energy market enjoy the full protection of European law, new European energy investors in Russia will have to rely on the goodwill of a Russian government that has shown a weak commitment to property rights; calls on EU leaders to make it clear to the Russian government that there must be a level playing field and that close and friendly energy ties depend on the acceptance of binding rules and reciprocal obligations that are fair and legally enforceable in an independent forum; and urges the Russian government to show foreign customers and investors alike that it understands the need to restore confidence in its behaviour as a producer and supplier of energy by re-engaging with the ECT. |
| 569 | NOTIFICATION BY LOCAL AUTHORITIES OF TRANSFER OF PROBLEM TENANTS | 12:1:10 |
| Mr Lee Scott | | Andrew George | | Peter Bottomley | | Bob Spink |
| That this House believes that in circumstances where a local authority houses a problem tenant in a property in the area of another local authority there should be a legal requirement to notify the host authority of the tenant's past. |
| Mr Clive Betts | | Mr Richard Caborn | | Mr David Blunkett | | Ms Angela C. Smith (Sheffield, Hillsborough) | | Mrs Ann Cryer | | Peter Bottomley |
| That this House recognises the enormous contribution to the war effort made by the Women of Steel who played such a valuable role in the Second World War carrying out crucial jobs in South Yorkshire's steel and engineering industries producing vital parts for planes, tanks and bullets; welcomes four representatives of the Women of Steel to Parliament on 13 January; notes they are to meet the Minister for Veterans and to visit No. 10 Downing Street; and hopes that as a result of the campaign led by The Star newspaper the Government will formally recognise their contribution at a national level. |
| 571 | VETERANS IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM | 12:1:10 |
| Mr Neil Gerrard | | Mr Elfyn Llwyd | | David Howarth | | John McDonnell | | Mr Andrew Dismore | | Peter Bottomley |
| | Paul Holmes | John Mann | John Austin | | | Gwyn Prosser | Mr David Drew | Andrew George | | | Mrs Ann Cryer | Jeremy Corbyn | Mark Durkan | | | Bob Spink |
| That this House is concerned at the number of former armed service personnel in prison or under the supervision of the Probation Service on community service or parole; notes that of the estimated 20,000 veterans that leave the structured environment of the armed forces to return to civilian life each year, many experience profound difficulties such as depression, homelessness and reliance on alcohol, with a smaller number suffering symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder; is concerned that appropriate counselling, health and welfare support is not reaching many of these ex-soldiers; and therefore calls on the Government to work with the trade unions representing staff in the justice sector and the armed services voluntary sector to implement a co-ordinated national strategy to ensure that counselling and advice facilities are available during and immediately after service to minimise the chances of individuals entering the criminal justice system, and that help and advice is available for those who do enter the criminal justice system to avoid reoffending. |
| 572 | ATRIAL FIBRILLATION AND ACCESS TO DRONEDARONE | 12:1:10 |
| Mr John Maples | | Mr Paul Keetch | | Peter Bottomley |
| That this House recognises the human and financial costs of Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and that its prevalence is likely to double over the next 50 years; further recognises Dronedarone as a first-in-class anti-arrhythmic drug, and the only anti-arrhythmic medication known to improve long-term cardiac health in AF patients; notes with concern that the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has issued draft guidance proposing to deny the use of Dronedarone to patients in England and Wales; believes that it is a fundamental principle of the NHS that patients and doctors should have a choice in therapy options; understands that many people with AF who currently struggle to manage the condition would benefit from access to this treatment and that its use would yield considerable cost savings in the longer term through reduced hospital admissions and reduced incidence of stroke; further recognises the widespread dismay among both clinicians and patients at the NICE draft guidelines on Dronedarone and the late and unhelpful timing of its publication on Christmas Eve 2009; supports the Atrial Fibrial Association's campaign to enable those treated by the NHS to have access to this medicine and for NICE to review its decision at a second NICE Appraisal Committee meeting to be held on 24 February 2010; and calls on NICE to ensure that patients, carers and health professionals be permitted to give evidence at this meeting. |
| 573 | SOUTH EAST TRAINS' SITTINGBOURNE AND SHEPPEY SERVICE | 12:1:10 |
| That this House welcomes the introduction of the recent high-speed train service from Sittingbourne to St Pancras; notes that as a consequence the trains to Cannon Street and Victoria are not only slower but the number of carriages have been reduced, especially in rush hour, from 12 to eight; further notes that notwithstanding that season ticket holders have had to pay above inflation increases they now find that they have to stand for what was once a 60 minute service but is now more normally 70 minutes or more; further notes that, even worse the Sheerness to Sittingbourne line was closed for five consecutive days in early January; and calls for senior management at South East Trains to rethink radically the rush hour services from Teynham, Sheerness and Sittingbourne and to reimburse hard-hit season ticket holders for their abysmal service or lose their licence. |
| 574 | MORDECHAI VANUNU | 12:1:10 |
| Jeremy Corbyn | | Paul Holmes | | Peter Bottomley | | Mr Mike Hancock | | Dr Phyllis Starkey | | Mrs Linda Riordan |
| | John McDonnell | Ms Katy Clark | Harry Cohen | | | Andrew George | Mark Durkan |
| That this House condemns the latest incident in the continuing harassment of Mordechai Vanunu when he was detained in December 2009 and placed under house arrest for being with his girlfriend; notes that he completed an 18 year sentence for revealing Israel's secret development of nuclear arsenal over five years ago; that, despite the passage of 23 years since he was brutally kidnapped by Israeli agents for the publication of that information by The Sunday Times, is alarmed that Israel insists that Vanunu has sensitive information that could harm its security; and calls on the Government to recognise these facts and to insist that Israel respects Vanunu's human rights by withdrawing its repressive restrictions and that allowing him the freedom to leave Israel if he so wishes. |
| 575 | ANTI-HOMOSEXUALITY BILL IN UGANDA | 12:1:10 |
| Harry Cohen | | Jeremy Corbyn | | Peter Bottomley |
| That this House calls on the British Government and the European Union to press the government of Uganda not to proceed with its Anti-Homosexuality Bill, which violates the equality and non-discrimination provisions of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the African Charter of Human and People's Rights; abhores that this Bill, currently before the Uganda parliament, proposes the death penalty for repeat homosexual acts, extends the existing penalty of life imprisonment for anal intercourse to all other same-sex behaviour, including the mere touching of another person with the intent to have homosexual relations and imposes life imprisonment for contracting a same-sex marriage; notes that under the provisions of the Bill membership of providing funding for gay organisations advocating gay human rights and providing condoms or safer sex advice to gay people will result in a sentence of between five and seven years for promoting homosexuality and that a person in authority who fails to report offenders to the police within 24 hours will incur a three year prison sentence; further notes that this monstrous proposed law contains extra-territorial jurisdiction so that it will apply to Ugandans who breach its provisions whilst living abroad, even in countries where such behaviour is not a criminal offence, and that such Ugandans living overseas could be subject to extradition, trial and punishment in Uganda; and demands that the Ugandan government uphold international humanitarian law by abandoning its Anti-Homosexuality Bill, decriminalising same-sex acts between consenting adults in private, and outlawing discrimination against gay people. |
| 576 | STAFFORDSHIRE HOARD FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN | 12:1:10 |
| Mark Fisher | | Mr Jeremy Hunt | | Mr Don Foster | | Mr Edward Vaizey | | Richard Younger-Ross | | Sir Patrick Cormack |
| | Michael Fabricant | Paul Farrelly | Joan Walley | | | Mr Robert Flello | Derek Wyatt | Peter Bottomley |
| That this House welcomes the launch of the public fundraising campaign to save the Staffordshire Hoard, led by The Art Fund and working with Birmingham City Council, Stoke-on-Trent City Council, Staffordshire County Council, Lichfield District Council and Tamworth Borough Council; recognises the national importance of the Hoard as the largest collection of Anglo-Saxon gold ever found on UK soil, which has the ability to shed new light on the lives of Anglo-Saxon people and the historically significant region known as Mercia; notes that the campaign has until 17 April 2010 to raise the required £3.3 million to keep the treasure in the West Midlands or it may be sold on the open market; and urges parliamentarians and members of public alike to donate to ensure this unprecedented find is kept together on public display at Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery and the Potteries Museum and Art Gallery in Stoke-on-Trent. |
| 577 | CONSTRUCTION OF TEMPORARY OLYMPIC ARENA | 12:1:10 |
| Mr Roger Godsiff | | Peter Bottomley |
| That this House notes with concern proposals by the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games to incur the added expense of constructing temporary arena for a number of events including badminton, shooting and equestrian sports; believes that such expenditure is unnecessary particularly when public finances are stretched; and calls on Her Majesty's Government, the Olympic Board and the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games to make best use of existing, first class facilities in and around London. |
| 578 | INVESTIGATORY POWERS (S.I., 2009, No. 3404) | 12:1:10 |
| Mr David Cameron | | Chris Grayling | | Damian Green | | James Brokenshire | | Mr Crispin Blunt | | Mr Patrick McLoughlin |
| That an humble Address be presented to Her Majesty, praying that the Regulation of Investigatory Powers (Covert Human Intelligence Sources Order: Matters Subject to Legal Privilege) Order 2009 (S.I., 2009 No. 3404), dated 30 December 2009, a copy of which was laid before this House on 5 January, be annulled. |
| 579 | NOTIFICATION OF PRICE CHANGES BY ENERGY COMPANIES | 12:1:10 |
| That this House notes that energy companies have 65 working days to inform their customers of a price rise after that price rise has taken place; further notes that customers have only 20 days to switch after being informed; further notes that research from Which? shows that 98 per cent. of people want their supplier to notify them ahead of price rises; further notes that the relevant licence condition was only implemented in 2006 and that previously suppliers were required to provide notification within 10 days; acknowledges Ofgem's statement that this is an issue of concern and their pledge to ask its consumer panel to consider the issue; but calls on the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change to be more proactive and require Ofgem to change the relevant licence condition to ensure that energy suppliers inform their customers in advance of a price rise. |
| That this House notes the study by York Health Economics Consortium, University of York, which reveals the impact of alcohol misuse on families, public services and the economy; further notes that the research, which looked at the impact across the NHS, police, social services, the economy and on families, estimated the total annual cost of alcohol misuse could be costing Scottish taxpayers around £3.56 billion per year, equivalent to £900 per year for every Scottish adult; believes that alcohol misuse is not only a burden on our health service and police, but that it also has a terrifying knock-on effect on economic potential and on the families devastated by death and illness caused by alcohol; welcomes the Scottish Government's Alcohol Bill which includes a package of evidence-based measures to get to grips with this issue, including minimum pricing to combat the cheap ciders, lagers and low-grade spirits favoured by problem drinkers; and welcomes the support these proposed measures have received from a broad coalition including the four chief medical officers of the UK, the British Medical Association, the Royal Colleges, Church of Scotland, Association of Chief Police Officers of Scotland and the Scottish Licensed Trade Association. |
| 581 | FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 AND ROYAL HOUSEHOLD | 12:1:10 |
| That this House notes the contribution to UK society of the Freedom of Information Act 2000; further notes the importance of public accountability; believes that the public has a right to information relating to Her Majesty and the Royal Family; and therefore calls on the Government to extend existing legislation to designate the Royal Household as a public authority under the Act. |
| 582 | CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING | 12:1:10 |
| That this House notes the dangers of carbon monoxide (CO) produced by combustion products like coal, wood, oil and gas not burning correctly; further notes that CO has no taste, colour or odour and often causes permanent injury or death within a few breaths, making elderly people, those with heart or lung problems, pregnant mothers, unborn babies and young children all particularly vulnerable to its dangers; recognises the work of CO-Awareness, a registered UK charity, established in 2005 to provide information on the dangers of CO poisoning and to support victims and their families who have been killed or are suffering long-term health effects from CO poisoning; and urges the Government to improve education, advice and equipment for children, health professionals and installers to reduce the impact of CO poisoning. |
