That this House notes the Government's responsibility to implement the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes and subsequent relevant Resolutions of the World Health Assembly (WHA) through national measures to protect breastfeeding and to ensure the safe use of breastmilk substitutes if these are necessary; regrets its failure to act on the advice of its own Scientific Committee on Nutrition, LACORS, the health professional bodies, and health advocates making up the Baby Feeding Law Group, through the proposed Infant Formula and Follow-on Formula Regulations, by failing to prohibit promotion of follow-on formula, health and nutrition claims and companies targeting parents or to require improved warnings and instructions to reduce risk of formula use; and urges the Government to bring the regulations into line with the International Code and WHA resolutions which call for such prohibition.

That this House notes the unacceptable power that the Israeli authorities hold over access to and within the Palestinian territories; is concerned about the increased tendency to refuse access to international visitors, including the hon. Member for Birmingham, Selly Oak and a party of women from Birmingham on a mission whose purpose had been fully explained in advance to the Israeli Embassy; trusts that the pilgrimage to the Holy Land of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, the Moderator of the Free Churches, the Reverend David Coffey, and the Primate of the Armenian Church of Great Britain, Bishop Nathan Hovhannisian, meets with no such difficulties; and hopes that their visit will not only draw attention to the campaign by Open Bethlehem, an international project working to draw attention to the city's plight and to the devastating effect on the economy of Bethlehem of the illegal wall and the associated restrictions on movement, but will also help promote the goodwill needed to end the cycle of violence and secure lasting peace and security for both Israelis and Palestinians.

That this House sends its best wishes to Mohammed Chaudhry, his wife and two children, who will be spending their first Christmas holidays together in seven years following his detention in June 1999 in Saudi Arabia; notes that Mr Chaudhry, after being held without charge for 34 months was charged with negligence over supplies missing from Riyadh military hospital; further notes that Mr Chaudhry's superior, Captain Meshal, though also found guilty in March 2002 of negligence and forgery, was fined the same as Mr Chaudhry, the equivalent of £400,000, but never imprisoned and is believed to have been promoted; further notes that, even after being released from prison in June 2004, Mr Chaudhry was not allowed to leave the country for over a year whilst the Saudi bureaucracy confirmed his inability to pay the fine and agreement was reached between the members of the Saudi Royal Family in charge of the Ministries of the Interior, Defence and the Governorship of Riyadh to petition the Royal Diwan; and believes that Mr Chaudhry's treatment by the Saudi authorities constitutes a breach of natural justice and human rights and expresses concern that the recently retired Saudi Ambassador, Prince Turki, whilst regularly appearing in British media defending his country's human rights record, never kept his promise, at a meeting in May 2003 with Mrs Chaudhry and the hon. Member for Birmingham Selly Oak, to provide a translation of the court judgement, which was never explained in English, nor replied to several letters from the hon. Member.

That this House recognises that Standard One of the Department of Health's National Service Framework for Mental Health seeks to promote the social inclusion of people with mental health problems, and regrets that 20th Century Fox has not listened to concerns from a coalition of 13 national mental health organisations and now plans to release on video its film,' Me, Myself and Irene'; notes that the film portrays a man with 'advanced delusionary schizophrenia with involuntary narcissistic rage' who switches from a mild mannered person when mentally well to an unpredictable and dangerous character when mentally unwell and points out that this is a fictional diagnosis exploiting a lack of public understanding about mental health and playing on unfounded stereotypes about people who are mentally unwell; considers that this film undermines welcome attempts to break down public misunderstanding and discrimination; and calls on Twentieth Century Fox to work with the 13 national mental health organisations that he raised concerns about the film to provide accurate information and advice to people renting or purchasing the video and ensure that publicity for the film does not give rise to offence to people with mental illness.

That this House notes with grave concern that Mohammed Chaudhry, a British citizen, has been held without charge by the Saudi authorities since his arrest on 23rd June 1999 following a five month internal investigation first by Colonel Abdullah Al-Mugari of the Military Police and then by Colonel Ali Johani from the Ministry of Defence into variances resulting from stock-take amounting to approximately ú1.5 million of medical supplies at Riyadh Military Hospital where Mr Chaudhry worked in storage and distribution; notes that the stock-take was cancelled in writing by the Chief Executive of the hospital before the variances could be completely investigated; notes that the investigating authorities never carried out a stock-take to establish facts; notes that, despite the fact that no further questioning by the police investigating the case has taken place since the first few days after his arrest, Mr Chaudhry, who has always denied any wrong-doing, remains in prison, without access to his lawyer, whilst other employees, including his immediate superior; Captain Meshal, are free; believes that a year is more than sufficient time to investigate any crime of this nature, and that the continued detention of Mr Chaudhry is a breach of natural justice and internationally accepted human rights; and therefore calls on the Saudi authorities to either release him to return home or, in the unlikely event that there is any case to answer, to bring that case forward against Mr Chaudhry to enable him to defend himself in open court.
