That this House welcomes the Government's decision in July 2019 - following significant and lengthy research and consultation - to raise the charity lottery annual sales limit to £50 million, thus reducing burdensome bureaucracy and administration costs whilst allowing millions of pounds more in funding to be directed to charities across the country; notes that the Government has not yet implemented the new limit; further notes that the official regulator, The Gambling Commission, has backed early implementation of the new limit; and calls on the Government to implement the new limit in the first quarter of 2020 at the latest, in order to avoid further delay that would mean local charities across the country losing out on more vital funding.

That this House notes that some Iraqi Kurds have been deprived of their British passports by the Home Office on the grounds that their names and birth dates are inaccurate; further notes that this is the case for those who fled from Saddam Hussein's dictatorship and who feared, in the event of their being returned to Iraq, a prison sentence or execution; and considers that the Home Office should recognise their original and understandable caution given real threats and fears and, as it has done with others in the past, adopt a policy of regularising the status of those affected by aligning such data between their Iraqi and British documents or an equivalent solution.

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 21 December 2010
That this House is extremely disappointed to hear of the recent BBC attacks on The Freedom Association and Norris McWhirter CBE; notes that on the Alan Davies show on BBC Radio 5, the Freedom Association was recently libelled as being `a very, very right-wing kind of sub-BNP, slightly posher version of the BNP', a statement which is completely untrue; further notes that the BBC 5 Live radio show went on to vilify the late Norris McWhirter CBE, likening him to one of Hitler's brown shirts, despite his record as a passionate campaigner for civil liberties and a defender of freedom, including his service in the Royal Navy in the Second World War; finally notes that Norris McWhirter CBE was a former star of the BBC TV show, Record Breakers, and gave a huge amount of public service over his life; and therefore calls on the BBC to apologise immediately for this damaging and unjustified attack.
