MISSILE DEFENCE

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 4 April 2000

That this House notes that the United States plans to develop a National Missile Defence system and that President Clinton is due to make a decision about further developments this summer; is concerned that the United States has asked Russia to amend the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, which is widely considered to be the cornerstone of international arms control; believes that the deployment of a NMD system could destabilise international relations and result in further vertical and horizontal proliferation; is worried that Britain will collaborate with the United States on NMD through Menwith Hill and RAF Fylingdales in Yorkshire; and calls on the Government to initiate a debate on the advisability of Britain's involvement in these potential and destabilising developments.

HOUSES IN MULTIPLE OCCUPATION AND PRIVATE LANDLORDS

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 11 January 2000

That this House recognises the damage being done to housing stock in inner city areas by the rapid growth in the number of houses in multiple occupation and other shared housing; notes the adverse effects of a high concentration of HMOs on community relations and services; and seeks the urgent introduction of legislation empowering local authority planning departments to restrict the conversion of existing family homes into HMOs, in order to maintain a balance in the use of housing stock and protect the longer term needs of the community in such matters as the availability of affordable family housing, the provision of school places, road traffic management, waste collection/street cleaning and community stability.
