United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 18 December 2002
That this House notes the existing age addition payment to the state pension of 25 pence a week on reaching the age of 80; accepts the widespread evidence that shows that the oldest pensioners tend to be among the poorest in society; acknowledges that the vast majority of those pensioners will be women; believes that after 30 years the age addition is now due for a substantial increase; and supports the National Pensioners Convention in calling on the Government to raise this age addition to ú22 a week for all pensioners over 80 as a matter of urgency.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 18 December 2002
That this House acknowledges the Government's decision to relax the rules which reduce the state pension after a stay in hospital from six to 13 weeks; reaffirms the view that such a change does not fully address the unfairness of such deductions; notes that cutting pensioners' income when in hospital comes at a time when they are at their most vulnerable as well as still having ongoing household costs to meet, and causes unnecessary worry and concern; and supports the National Pensioners Convention in calling on the Government to end this practice as a matter of urgency.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 18 December 2002
That this House notes the request by the United States Government to upgrade facilities at RAF Fylingdales as part of their National Missile Defence programme; recognises that there are huge moral, economic, technological and legal issues raised by NMD; welcomes the Government's commitment to a wide ranging public debate on these issues; and believes that the United States request should not even be considered until the British public has been able to have this debate and decide whether the 'Son of Star Wars' proposals offer any real security for Britain or the international community.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 18 December 2001
That this House strongly believes that an inability to find Osama bin Laden must not be used as a pretext to extend the war against Afghanistan into other countries; knows that military action against Iraq, Somalia, Sudan or any of the 60 countries on America's target list, would see the international coalition against terrorism torn apart in the pursuit of vengence rather than justice; recognises that a UN-led agenda of development, democracy and social justice offers the only long-term prospect of international stability; and calls upon the United Kingdom Government to lead this initiative within the international community.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 18 December 2001
That this House believes it is now time for the international community to end the 10 year war and sanctions against Iraq; notes that UN Humanitarian co-ordinator Hans von Sponeck has directly attributed over 350 civilian deaths and 1,000 civilian casualties to US and UK bombing of Iraq over the last two years; recognises that security and stability in the region will be found through inclusion and negotiations rather than by bombing; and calls on the UN to launch a new diplomatic initiative on Iraq based on openness, tolerance and reconstruction.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 18 December 2001
That this House notes the report by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation published in 1999 that highlighted the fact that over four million people in the United Kingdom do not have access to healthy food, and the campaign on this issue launched on 14th November by Food Justice; notes too that this situation can be caused by a number of factors such as inadequate income, lack of reasonable access to shops or other outlets selling such food and inadequate information; and therefore supports the Food Poverty (Eradication) Bill which will require the drawing up and implementation of local and national strategies to end this problem.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 29 November 2000
That this House celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Right honourable Member for Chesterfield, who first entered Parliament on 30th November 1950 as the then Member for Bristol South-East; recognises the unique contribution he has made to the defence of parliamentary democracy and the constitutional importance of the House of Commons; respects his own lifetime commitment to the causes of peace, democracy and socialism; and wishes him well following his decision to leave Parliament at the next election in order to devote more time to politics.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 5 July 2000
That this House welcomes the Government's delivery of a national minimum wage as a major step forward in the fight against poverty pay, but regrets the decision to pay a lower rate to young workers and to exclude 16 and 17 year olds altogether; and urges the Government to extend the adult rate to all workers from the age of 18 and bring in a young workers rate for 16 and 17 year olds, so as to prevent the exploitation of young workers.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 24 May 2000
That this House is alarmed to discover that up to 100,000 hectares of this year's maize crop in Europe may be subject to GM contamination; is concerned that this is on a larger scale than the recently admitted GM contamination of oilseed rape; believes it is grossly dishonest of the European seed industry and EU officials to respond by demanding a reversal of current European zero contamination rules rather than tackling the central issue of genetic pollution; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to follow Sweden and France in destroying GM-contaminated seeds and crops, to arrange compensation for farmers, to hold seed suppliers fully liable for contamination under the polluter pays principle, and to halt seed imports which lack comprehensive verification as being GM-free.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 16 May 2000
That this House welcomes the decision of the House authorities to restore overtime pay rates for catering staff in the Members' Tea Room and Refreshment Department; regrets that this entitlement had been withdrawn in the previous year but commends the House authorities for fully restoring and backdating it, putting staff pay and conditions back into a more legitimate framework; and calls upon the House authorities to ensure that staff are paid these arrears forthwith.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 12 April 2000
That this House believes that, both morally and legally, Elian Gonzalez, aged six years, should be returned to his father and grandparents in Cuba; recognises that the USA would have returned Elian to his family and country of origin had that country been anywhere other than Cuba; believes that the treatment of a child as a political pawn is flagrantly in breach of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to demand the immediate return of Elian to his family in Cuba, as recommended by the American Immigration and Naturalisation Service.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 10 March 2000
That this House notes with concern the removal without trial of Wenjian Liang (32) to a forced labour camp in Guangzhou province for two years; notes that her detention and deportation was based entirely on her being a practitioner of Falun Gong meditation and that she now joins some 3,000 other Falun Gong practitioners currently incarcerated in Chinese labour camps and over 35,000 who have been subject to arbitrary arrest; and urges the Government to support a resolution to the United Nation's Human Rights Commission in Geneva this March and April which calls on China to end this indefensible persecution of its own citizens.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 7 March 2000
at end add 'and also asks the government to look again at the question of biotechnology patenting in order to define all discoveries relating to the building blocks of life as being beyond the legitimate limits of patenting.'.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 17 February 2000
That this House is concerned that there is still no clear legal basis defining who in the food chain will be strictly liable for harm caused by GM food or crops; notes that farmers are being told they have no insurance cover for (i) loss in farm land values, (ii) loss of GM-free status and (iii) crop damage from cross pollination, which result from GM crop planting on their own or adjacent lands; and calls on the Government to support the GM Foods and Producer Liability Bill, making biotechnology companies full and wholly responsible for all such releases.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 25 January 2000
That this House notes the enormous support from honourable Members of all parties for the Warm Homes and Energy Conservation (15 Year Programme) Bill introduced in the last session, when 351 honourable Members signed a motion calling for it to become law; notes that the Bill required the Secretary of State to draw up a programme of action to ensure that energy conservation measures were taken on 500,000 homes per year over a period of 15 years with the aim of ending fuel poverty in the United Kingdom; recognises that such a programme would improve public health, benefit the environment and create jobs; welcomes the announcement of 11th November 1999 of an Inter-Ministerial Group to examine the way ahead on fuel poverty with a remit to set a target date for eliminating the problem; and hopes that there will be time this session to discuss and pass a Bill that will lead to an end to the problem of fuel poverty.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 20 January 2000
leave out from 'increases' to end and add 'believes that further increases in the proportion of recycled newsprint used in the UK would lead to expansion of the UK newsprint manufacturing sector,creating jobs and improving the UK's balance of trade figures; believes that this shift to recycled fibre would also alleviate the pressure to source virgin fibre from wildlife-rich forests overseas; and therefore hopes there will be a time for the Newspaper and Magazine Recycling Bill proposed by the honourable Member for Bristol North West to be debated and passed in this session.'.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 12 January 2000
That this House regrets that British and American forces continue to fire over 100 missiles a month at targets inside Iraq and have done so throughout the whole of the last year; questions the moral and military value of this approach and of the ú4.5 million per month which it costs the United Kingdom to pursue it; and urges the Government to end the bombing, lift the sanctions and re-direct expenditure towards the tragedy of child mortality in Iraq which has doubled in the nine years since sanctions were imposed.
