That this House notes the severe illness and deaths of haemophiliacs and some partners from HIV and hepatitis C, caused by the use of contaminated blood products and the potential for future deaths from vCJD; and supports the Haemophilia Society in its calls for an independent public inquiry into the contamination of haemophilia treatment since the 1970s, in particular the failure to make the UK self-sufficient in blood products, the failure in some parts of the UK to make a timely switch to virally inactivated treatment when this became available from 1985 and the failure to make timely provision of genetically-engineered recombinant Factor VIII and IX for all haemophiliacs.

That this House calls for Government action against freeholders who engage in activities often against vulnerable homeowners, such as refusing to take cheques paid in advance and then charging a fine for non-payment at the due date, failing to cash cheques properly sent and then charging an extortionate fine for late payments, cashing cheques properly sent and then charging an extortionate fine for supposed late payment, threatening to visit the home and gain access unless photographs are sent, charging for registering extensions when the lease terms make no such requirements and requiring levels of third party insurance on the property which are disproportionate and from the insurer unreasonably insisted on by the freeholder.

That this House calls on the Department for Trade and Industry to halt forthwith the Network Reinvention Programme of post office closures while an investigation is carried out into flaws in the notification, consultation and decision-making process, which led to inaccurate information being presented to the public and to consultees, including honourable Members and at least one metropolitan borough council, and which have led furthermore to a decision to close a post office being made on the same day that honourable Members and a council were notified in writing by Post Office Limited's Head of the North West that more time was being taken to review that closure, and which have led to the designation of a rural post office as urban without reference to clear criteria including those in the Performance and Innovation Unit report of 2000; notes that Royal Mail now recognise inadequacies in the process and that subsequent closure consultations will be modified but that current consultations will not be changed; regrets the failure of the Post Office and Postwatch to use clear and unambiguous language in their replies to honourable and Right honourable Members; and further regrets the failure of Post Office Limited to transmit a clear, strategic, coherent vision of the future of the Post Office at the heart of local communities.
