That this House deplores the delays in providing for both haemophiliac and non-haemophiliac patients infected with HIV through National Health Service treatment; believes that no medical accident victim should be subject to uncertainty and legal pressures which compound their suffering; nor should their financial welfare depend on the death-bed repentance of a government before a general election; and calls for the establishment of a centrally funded no-fault medical accident payment scheme.

That this House welcomes the book To Encourage the Others by David A. Yallop, calling for an independent public inquiry into the hanging of Derek Bentley in 1952; requests the Home Secretary to set up the inquiry as a matter of urgency; hopes that such a request will lead to a posthumous pardon; and feels that this will end a grave miscarriage of justice which leaves a permanent blot on the British judicial system - the hanging of an innocent man.

That this House views with alarm the disruption now occurring in the licensed trade; deplores the fact that many tenant licensees with long experience of serving the public are being forced either to accept long leases at extortionate rents and with full repairing liabilities or to leave the trade with little hope of finding new employment; notes that beer prices have been substantially increased while the market share held by the four biggest brewery companies has risen to almost 70 per cent., thus negating the aim of the Monopolies and Mergers Commission to provide more consumer choice; and therefore calls on the Government (a) to instruct the Director General of Fair Trading to review the position immediately, (b) to introduce a minimum level of compensation for displaced tenants above that provided in the Landlord and Tenant Act and (c) to introduce a form of independent arbitration for the assessment of fair rents.

That this House notes that Robert Tressell died in poverty in Liverpool Royal Infirmary 80 years ago, recognises that his book, 'The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists', which he wrote as a resident of Mugsborough, is a working-class classic; believes that it has helped countless activists in the struggle against injustice; and calls on all public libraries to stock the new complete edition so that young workers can learn from his experiences as a Socialist.

That this House welcomes the statement made by the Prime Minister on 4th December 1990 in the House that he would examine the case of Mr John Hall of Belgrove, Leicester, a nuclear test veteran who is dying of leukaemia, an illness he contracted while working on Christmas Island, notes that the Prime Minister has subsequently refused to take any action in this matter; acknowledges that John Hall's case is a test case for other veterans; and calls on the Prime Minister, without further delay, in the interests of compassion, humanity and justice to provide John Hall and the other nuclear test veterans with the compensation that the House and the country believe that they so richly deserve.

That this House, disturbed by the greater hardship imposed on the poorest peoples of the world by the debt crisis and concerned both that Gulf crisis has added considerably to this hardship and that the recent positive proposals for government-to-government debt reduction put forward by the Right honourable Member for Huntingdon, the then Chancellor of the Exchequer, have not been matched by corresponding moves from the commercial banks, believes that relieving debt should not be a burden weighing most heavily on the poor but a burden shared substantially and immediately by banks and multilateral lenders as well as creditor governments; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to lead a co-ordinated strategy for the reduction of commercial bank debt in parallel to the reductions proposed in the Trinidad Terms.

That this House expresses its concern that, in addition to Rutland Water, some 501 rivers, lakes and waterways in England and Wales alone, with more in Scotland and Northern Ireland, have suffered algal blooms at levels which may be toxic, as a result of eutrophication caused by phosphates, some 30 per cent of which is attributable to phosphates in detergents; voices its further concern about the environmental problems of certain commonly-used household detergent compositions, particularly from the use of phosphates and phosphate substitutes, the inadequate biodegradability of other chemicals in detergents and the failure of most manufacturers to provide consumers with full information on the contents and environmental impact of household cleaners; notes that the Government's Environment White Paper did not accept the arguments of the Control of Detergents Pollution Bill, introduced in the last session, to control the use of phosphates, increase the level of biodegradability and introduce comprehensive labelling; further notes that numerous EC countries have imposed restrictions on phosphates in detergents; and urges all honourable Members to encourage the Government to act for consumer and environmental protection.

That this House congratulates the National Curriculum History Working Group on the proposal, in its Final Report, that the events of the Nazi Holocaust should be taught in Britain's schools to 14 to 16 year olds; believes that it is essential that schoolchildren are able to learn about the evils of fascism, anti-semitism and racial genocide; and urges Her Majesty's Government to implement this valuable proposal as a core part of the history national curriculum.

That this House recalls that for more than one hundred years the Inner London Education Authority and its predecessors have enriched the lives of millions of Londoners by providing a high quality level of education, above all by the development of comprehensive education; considers that these have been carefully tailored to the diverse needs of the changing inner London area, but that the country as a whole has derived great value from the Inner London Education Authority's initiatives; notes that this excellent service was supported by means of a system of financing which redistributed a share of inner London's wealth in favour of inner London's poorer children and students; regrets that abolition was pushed through against the express wishes of thousands of London's parents; deplores Her Majesty's Government's policies in gradually withdrawing funding from inner London's education service, and by so doing denying this and future generations the range and quality of life-chances awarded to previous generations; calls for avoidance of short-sighted and divisive education policies; and urges Her Majesty's Government to meet demographic trends and industrial and economic imperatives by planning rationally the financing, co-ordination and expansion of training and education for inner Londoners.
