United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 25 July 2000
That this House is pleased to note that several worthy candidates' names are being considered by honourable and Right honourable Members for election as Speaker; believing it should have the greatest possible freedom of choice of Speaker, disagrees with the opinion of the then Select Committee on Procedure in 1996 that no change was needed to the voting system; further believes that the fairest system would be an eliminatory ballot; and is confident that it is easily within the competence of the current Select Committee to bring forward proposals for such a system which would avoid the over-lengthy procedures described in its predecessor's 1996 Report, especially when other legislatures have already done so.

That this House, supporting Her Majesty's Government's message that it will not tolerate violence against women, opposes Mike Tyson being granted a visa to enter the UK for a second boxing match; recalls that the Home Secretary permitted his previous visit because fans had already bought tickets and businesses in Manchester stood to lose if the boxing match were cancelled, circumstances which do not apply now; notes that many honourable Members and Right honourable Members have constituents whose relatives, having committed no crime of any kind, have been refused entry to the UK even to attend family funerals or to visit the seriously ill; and insists that Mike Tyson should not be granted a visa to enter the UK as the only reason for seeking to do so is that he and others can make some easy money.

That this House recognises the danger of decommissioning being handled wrongly; is concerned in case splits among the paramilitaries in both Loyalist and Republican ranks result in breakaways to violent minority groups; further recognises that the IRA has agreed that disarmament is a necessary objective, but abhors the idea of surrender; and therefore calls upon all parties to the Good Friday Agreement to consider a day of reconciliation, when all sides could act together, which could be done with goodwill in time for the May deadline, thus allowing the Northern Ireland Assembly to be restored as quickly as possible.
