at end add 'but is extremely concerned about the effect on breast cancer patients of the additional delay in issuing guidance on the use of taxanes for the treatment of breast cancer; recognises that it is estimated that several hundred women will continue to be denied these anti-cancer drugs in the delay period alone, some of whom may die prematurely as a result of the delay in publishing guidance; and joins the Cancer Research Campaign in calling on the National Institute for Clinical Excellence to approve Taxotere while the appeal into Taxol takes place, so that women eho do not have the benefit of time can start to be treated efficiently and effectively with this drug.'.

That this House congratulates Age Concern and the UK Breast Cancer Coalition on their campaign to alert women aged 65 years and over of their entitlement to breast screening; is concerned that women aged 65 years and over, who are in the highest risk age group for breast cancer, are not automatically invited for screening; welcomes the Government's commitment to extend automatic screening for 65 to 69 year olds provided the current pilot studies show it would be beneficial to women's health, and is greatly encouraged by the interim results of the East Sussex pilot study indicating that over 70 per cent. of those women who have previously attended screening will continue to do so if invited after the age of 64 years; and calls on the Government to ensure that the NHS Breast Screening Programme is sufficiently resourced to extend the automatic screening for older women as soon as possible after the final pilots report and, as an interim measure, ensure all older women are actively informed of their right to self-refer.

That this House commends the Consumers' Association campaign to end the 'great British car rip-off'; is disappointed that according to the latest European Commission report on car pricing UK consumers continue to be charged the highest price for 70 of the top 77 best selling models of car in the European Union; calls on the Government to acknowledge that there is a crisis in the motor industry brought on by motor manufacturers who collectively overcharge and give dealers little room to discount, which has left consumers with no choice but to vote with their feet and boycott new car sales; supports UK consumers' demands on the Government to restructure the new car market by arguing for the removal of the current block exemption, encouraging greater price transparency and forcing manufacturers to cut their list prices so that UK consumers can purchase cars at fair and competitive prices; and warns that any package of measures that does not strengthen the role of consumers and dealers will not address the fundamental crisis in the new car sector.
