That this House is sickened by the foul act of cruelty in which six foxes were tortured and mutilated and their carcasses left at the entrance to the animal sanctuary All Creatures Great and Small at Llanfrechfa, near Newport, following the support given to the anti-Hunting Bill by the sanctuary's manager; believes this proves the calculated viciousness of some hunt supporters; congratulates the sanctuary for their exemplary care of 450 animals; and hopes that public repugnance against bloodsports will increase financial support to All Creatures Great and Small.

That this House congratulates New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer on his decision to sue the pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline for alleged repeated and persistent fraud by suppressing the results of studies that showed the anti-depressant Seroxat is no more effective, or less effective, than a placebo in treating depression in young people and that the incidence of suicidal tendencies doubled among users in three of the trials; notes in one trial 6.5 per cent. of the sample taking Seroxat developed suicidal tendencies compared to 1.1 per cent. in the placebo group; is shocked to learn that the results were suppressed because GlaxoSmithKline decided that admitting that the drug did not work in children would be commercially unacceptable... as this would undermine the profile of Seroxat; and calls for early action here to conclude the delayed Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency investigation into Seroxat.

That this House notes the great success of the ban on smoking in public places in Ireland; regrets that the decision by a majority in all parties in the Welsh Assembly last year to introduce a similar ban could not be enacted because the Assembly lacks the legislative powers; and looks forward to the adoption of the recommendations of the Richard Commission which will allow Wales to introduce this ban and other progressive legislation.

That this House expresses concern at the tragic deaths associated with the anti-depressant drug Seroxat and the news that GlaxoSmithKline suppressed news of two 1998 studies that demonstrated that the drug was no more effective than placebos; notes with alarm the Department of Health's view that Seroxat can make the symptoms of depression more severe and the decision of a court that Seroxat was responsible for a change in the behaviour of a man who took his own life and that of his family; and calls for a full investigation of the conduct of GlaxoSmithKline who appear to have put their private greed before public safety.

That this House congratulates the Government on the April 2001 pension uprating which, for the first time in over 25 years, will exceed the percentage increases in both prices and average earnings; welcomes the changes proposed in the minimum income guarantee to ensure that all pensioners benefit from the pension increase; notes the Government Actuary's advice that despite the proposed cuts in employers' contributions, the balance in the National Insurance Fund will be sufficient to pay for pension increases in line with earnings until 2007; and urges the Government to restore the link with earnings so that the basic pension will remain a dependable foundation on which people of all ages can build for their retirement.
