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 congratulates The Guardian newspaper and Mr Patrick Wintour in particular in exposing the connection between the Daily Mail and the Conservative Party Central Office and detailing the occasions when the Mail has printed lies, distortions and inventions about Labour's policies; further congratulates Mr Wintour on pointing out how the BBC's review of the papers and the producers of BBC2 Newsnight programme followed the Daily Mail line like a flock of sheep; and expresses its contempt for those journalists and broadcasters who know this Goebbels type news management is taking place but do not have the courage or integrity to resist it.

That this House considers it totally inappropriate for the Chairman of the Leeds General Infirmary National Health Service Trust, Mr Tony Clegg, to make use of private hospital facilities; feels that it is an insult to all those on the waiting list for the General Infirmary and shows that he has little confidence in the National Health Service reforms which he is paid a substantial salary to implement; and calls upon him to resign from his position as Chairman of the Leeds General Infirmary Trust.

That this House is dismayed at the introduction of income tax liability on volunteer car drivers from 6th October 1991; notes the necessary and valuable contribution made by these drivers to community transport schemes and Dial-a-Rides; notes that these taxation measures will reduce the availability of such volunteer drivers throughout the country, particularly in rural areas, because of the complexity of the tax collection system; notes that volunteer hospital and ambulance services are likely to be the hardest hit; and calls upon the Treasury to exempt bona fide or registered community transport associations' drivers from this liability to tax on mileage expenses.

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 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.
