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.

That this House is dismayed that a person can work for 37 years and pay full national insurance contributions, be made redundant due to a pit closure, then in two subsequent years obtain full national insurance credits, topped up only with four voluntary contributions, suffer a heart attack and then be refused consideration for invalidity benefit on the grounds that he does not have sufficient contributions or credits to his name; notes that this has happened to Mr Tindall of 69 Staniforth Avenue, Highwood Park, Eckington, Derbyshire, because he went on a fortnight's holiday in 1988 after being badly advised at an unemployment benefit office, thus cutting across three weeks during which he could otherwise have signed on for work and that he also started work in the final week of the 1988-89 tax year and thereby lost a further credit; notes that Mr Tindall made voluntary payments to cover these four 'missing' weeks but that these contributions can only be used for pension purposes and not for invalidity benefit considerations; further notes that Mr Tindall cannot qualify for income support due to his wife's modest earnings; believes that a great injustice has been done due to the inflexibility of current Government rules; and calls for the necessary changes in the regulations forthwith.

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.
