THE ROLE OF THE KURDS IN FIGHTING DAESH

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 16 December 2015

That this House warmly congratulates the Kurdistan Regional Government's brave Peshmerga and other Kurdish allies on recapturing Sinjar from Daesh with the assistance of international coalition airstrikes; recognises that this is not only a major psychological defeat but also severs the main supply road for Daesh forces between Raqqa and Mosul; further recognises that the Peshmerga, already protecting Mosul Dam, are vital in defending the Kurdistan region, which has a 650-mile border with Daesh, and could play a major supporting role in the liberation of Mosul; notes however, that the Peshmerga have not been paid for two months in an economic crisis in the Kurdistan region caused by continuing and unconstitutional cuts in federal budget entitlements to the Kurdistan Regional Government, which also carries the bulk of the burden of looking after nearly two million refugees and internally-displaced people; and urges the Government and the wider international community, in recognising the pivotal military, political and cultural role of the Kurds in tackling Daesh, to help persuade the federal government in Baghdad to play fair by the Kurds in a new political settlement that can also persuade Sunnis that they will be treated fairly and so further undermine Daesh rule.

FUEL COSTS AND THE NORTHERN IRELAND ECONOMY

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 21 December 2000

That this House notes with concern the effect of the high cost of diesel fuel on the haulage industry in the United Kingdom, where the price of such fuel is far above that which prevails in other EU countries; is particularly concerned with the situation in Northern Ireland, where the haulage industry has to compete with hauliers in the Irish Republic who can buy diesel fuel at 53p per litre following the recent reduction in tax of 7.3 Irish pence per litre; notes that this is leading to ever-increasing smuggling of fuel into the UK from the Irish Republic and a vast increase in cross border shopping, leading to severe losses to the Treasury and to the retail sector in Northern Ireland; and calls on the Government to take immediate and effective steps to prevent smuggling and restore a level playing field for fuel retailers within the United Kingdom.
