That this House deplores the refusal of the Welsh Rugby Union to sanction a fund raising fixture between Widnes Rugby League Club and a select Welsh Rugby Union team in aid of the Towyn Flood Appeal, one half of the match to have been played under rugby league rules and the other under rugby union rules; believes that such an event would have had great fund raising potential; and deeply regrets that it has been unable to take place because of the attitudes of the Welsh Rugby Union towards Rugby League.

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.

That this House views with grave concern Yorkshire Water Authority's plans to increase the connection charge of a house to water mains from ??37 to ??529 and of a house to sewer mains from ??50 to ??629; notes that housing associations face an increase from ??131 to ??1,155 and that all these costs will feed through into increased rents and mortgages; notes that these increases follow the increase this year in the standing charge for domestic users from ??16 to ??30, following a 33 per cent. rise in the previous year; and believes that Yorkshire Water Authority is outrageously exploiting its monopoly position for the benefit of shareholders rather than consumers and urges Yorkshire Water to reconsider these excessive new charges.
