United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 13 July 2000
That this House notes that the present Home Office consultation document on reforming the law on involuntary manslaughter has left out road deaths from being considered for inclusion under this law; believes that this consultation is an opportunity to try and assess the advantages and disadvantages of dealing with one form of unlawful death and injury under a separate law, instead of common law, particularly in view of the overwhelming evidence of public dissatisfaction with the present road traffic law (Road Traffic Act 1988, amended in 1991), supported by numerous petitions delivered to the Home Office, and most recently a 13,000 signature petition by RoadPeace, and supported also by a great many complaints from their constituents to most honourable Members; notes that there is a growing agreement that the law cannot continue as at present and also the Human Rights Act 1999 will require that road deaths be treated no differently from other culpable deaths; believes that this consultation also provides a change to end discrimination in respect of road deaths, beginning with the investigation and ending with derisory sentences in magistrates' courts where the fact of death is not even recorded on court records, and to end the social exclusion of bereaved families of road victims, who feel deeply insulted by the lack of acknowledgement of their loss and the treatment of their loved ones' death; and therefore calls for road deaths to be included for consideration under all three charges proposed.

That this House notes with pleasure the 10th anniversary of the elections on 27th May 1990 in Burma, in which the National League for Democracy, headed by Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, won 392 out of the 495 parliamentary seats; but regrets the action of the military regime in failing to respond to the democratic wishes of the country; condemns the regime for retaining in prison 55 MPs elected in 1990 and for detaining 1,000 political activists last year; further condemns the regime for its brutal and inhumane treatment of ethnic minorities, such as the Karens, who have suffered from a brutal campaign of murder, forced relocation and slave labour during this period; and calls upon the British Government to exert the maximum pressure on the regime, including pressing for international court action against those responsible for crimes against humanity.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 9 February 2000
That this House recognises the importance of speed cameras in deterring motorists from driving at excessive speed; believes that the principal human rights considerations in road traffic law are those affecting victims of road crashes and their families; and calls upon the Government to ensure that such rights are protected in all relevant legislation.
