leave out from 'House' to end and add 'notes that the TGWU have not formally supported the acquisition of Bass Brewers by the Belgian company Interbrew, owners of Whitbread, because, whilst some employees in those two companies may benefit in the short term, 37 per cent. of the brewing industry in the United Kingdom as a whole will be controlled by one company, resulting in reduction of choice for consumers and the overall loss of brewing and distribution jobs.'.

That this House considers that the film The Patriot, directed by German director Roland Emmerich and written by Robert Rodat, is an appalling travesty of historical truth, that its apparent authenticity hides a dangerous agenda which portrays the British forces as performing atrocities about which there are no historical records and which were in fact perpetrated by the SS in World War II, and that this has the effect of appearing to give a precedent for Nazi war crimes; notes that if any other nationality or ethnic group were subject to such lies they would be quite justified in suing the film makers; and calls upon the British public to boycott this dreadful film.

That this House notes that the proposed merger between Interbrew and Bass will have a detrimental impact on the UK brewing industry in terms of job losses and reduction of choice to the consumer; further notes that the UK competition authorities with extensive experience in the UK beer sector will have no material role in the decision making process; and strongly calls for the DTI to request the European Commission to repatriate the matter to the UK and in particular the Office of Fair Trading under Article 9 of the EC Merger Regulation.

That this House urges the Government to reject the recent recommendation in the Mott MacDonald report, The Future of Fire Service Control Rooms and Communications in England and Wales, that there be a single fire service control to cover the whole of Wales on the grounds that the major geographic and demographic differences between the Welsh regions would make such a control room dangerously ineffective due to the necessity for detailed local knowledge and the vast amount of similar place names throughout Wales.

That this House deplores the intention of Carlsberg Tetley to close the Wrexham Lager Beer Company at the end of March this year; notes that Carlsberg make much of their long 153 year tradition of lager brewing in Denmark whilst closing the oldest lager brewery in Britain, with a continuous tradition as long as that of the brewery started by Carl Jacobsen in 1882; calls on Carlsberg to start negotiating as soon as possible with Wrexham County Borough Council to preserve the listed brewery buildings and to allow lager to be brewed in some way on the site to maintain the tradition of brewing in Wrexham; and further notes that, if Carlsberg Tetley proceed with their intention to close the Wrexham Brewery, their product will be regarded by the people of Wrexham and Wales as probably the worst lager in the world.
