That this House is aware that lung disease is the third biggest killer in the UK, affecting over 12 million people at an annual cost of billions of pounds to the public purse; is alarmed by recent figures which reveal that mortality rates have not improved in the last 10 years with the UK now suffering the worst levels in Europe of diseases such as asthma, lung cancer, COPD, Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and mesothelioma; recognises the work of the British Lung Foundation in its fight to highlight this issue in its report, Battle For Breath, and calls on the Government to support its conclusions that there is a desperate need to establish an independent taskforce to produce a five year strategy to improve outcomes for patients and support the NHS in its quest to dramatically improve the present situation.

That this House notes with concern that around 30 people a year still die as a result of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and many more may unknowingly be poisoned; further notes that there has never been a fatality related to CO poisoning where an audible CO alarm, tested to the standard BS EN 50291, was present; acknowledges that the cost of these devices has significantly decreased since the introduction of the Building Regulations in 2010; highlights the recent research undertaken at Liverpool John Moores University which indicates it is low-income households who are most at risk of CO poisoning; notes the Government's stated intention in its White Paper, Fixing our broken housing market, to improve safeguards in the private rented sector; and calls on the Government, the Welsh Executive and the Northern Ireland Executive to implement similar regulations to those now in operation in Scotland and to require all landlords to install CO detectors in all rented properties, as part of a package of measures to achieve its aim of improved safeguards for people living in rented homes.

That this House notes with grave concern the Human Rights Watch report of a brutal campaign against LGBT people in the semi-autonomous Russian region of Chechnya, with more than 100 men reportedly detained over several weeks in connection with their non-traditional sexual orientation, or suspicion of such as part of a state-backed crackdown; is horrified by reports from LGBT groups in Russia that those who have escaped were imprisoned in groups of 30 to 40 and tortured with electric currents or beatings, some of them fatal; is dismayed that the human rights situation for LGBT people in Russia generally has deteriorated significantly in recent years; welcomes the Government's initial condemnation of these incidents but urges to raise this matter at the highest diplomatic levels; and expects the Russian Government to fulfil its international duties to protect its citizens at risk of persecution and uphold the rule of law.

That this House is deeply concerned at the reports in the Russian newspaper, Novaya Gazeta, that men believed to be gay have been abducted, tortured and killed in Chechnya; expresses alarm at denials made by Chechen authorities regarding these reports, which claim that gay men do not exist in the republic; deplores this act of mass torture and murder, which specifically targets LGBTI people; supports Amnesty lnternational's call for action; believes that this call for action compels Aleksandr Ivanovich Bastrykin, Chairman of the Investigation Committee of the Russian Federation, to carry out an immediate and thorough investigation into the reports, taking all necessary steps to ensure the safety of any individual who may be at risk in Chechnya; and further supports an immediate investigation into this reported purge of LGBTI people in Chechnya; and calls on the international community to ensure that the Russian authorities are held accountable for upholding its international human rights obligations and ensuring that justice is brought upon those reportedly committing these crimes in Chechnya.

That this House is deeply concerned by the proposals from NHS England and NICE to introduce a cap of £20 million on drugs in their first three years with the possibility of restricting access to the drug if this cap is breached; notes that the cap is arbitrary and does not balance the effectiveness of the drug against its inevitable cost; further notes that new drugs and those that treat ultra-rare diseases are often more expensive by their nature; notes that the cap could be applied to existing drugs once their Managed Access Agreement period comes to an end and that this could see very ill people having the medication that is currently treating them taken away, including Morquio sufferers who currently take the Vimizim drug; notes that the development of new drugs could be severely hampered by this cap and new drugs could delay access to new drugs or even stop them becoming available altogether, including Exondys 51 which treats Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and nusinersen to treat spinal muscular atrophy; calls on the Government to review the proposed cap and focus more on outcomes than cost; and further calls on the Government to guarantee that existing drugs such as Duchenne treatment Translarna will not be affected by this cap and will not be taken away from those people benefiting from them today.

That this House recognises that people with coeliac disease, for whom the only treatment is a strict gluten-free diet for life, must have access to gluten-free prescriptions to maintain their health; notes that without access to prescriptions the most vulnerable people, those on low incomes, the elderly and those with mobility problems, will suffer most as confirmed by independent research; considers that the potential health risk to patients, including osteoporosis, infertility and cancer of the small bowel, may cost the NHS more in the long run; calls for the maintenance of gluten-free prescriptions on the NHS; and further calls for the consideration of a national gluten-free prescribing scheme for England and renewed efforts to improve recognition of coeliac disease by primary care health services.

That this House is appalled at the runaway multi-billion pound waste of nuclear costs for a power source that promised to deliver electricity that would be too cheap to meter; notes that Hinkley Point's estimated cost of £6 billion in 2008 leapt to £24 billion and is now estimated to soar to £37 billion, while the cost of nuclear decommissioning, estimated at £55 billion in 2005, is now set at £117 billion and rising; and condemns this and previous Governments' gullible infatuation with the myth of cheap nuclear power that has created a massive burden of debt for the nation that will impoverish public spending for decades.

That this House is extremely concerned by the decision of Lloyds Bank to close its branch on Whitegate Drive in Blackpool; regrets its failure to consult either the Councillors for the area or the hon. Member for Blackpool South before this announcement; recognises that significant numbers of businesses, many of them small and local residents, will be unable to access local facilities, with the nearest alternative branch being too far; and is saddened by the failure of Lloyds Banking Group to understand that consultation does not consist of telling people after the event and that its corporate reputation is not improved by the rubber-stamp nature of such exercises.

That this House recognises that charges on the Child Maintenance Service Collect and Pay service are preventing parents and children from accessing maintenance; accepts that domestic abuse survivors are most at need of a Government service to help ensure maintenance is paid without contact between former partners, yet are among the worst affected by barriers created by charges; understands that research by Gingerbread has found that around one in four receiving parents claim domestic violence is a reason for not setting up an arrangement with the Child Maintenance Service after their case with the Child Support Agency had closed; and calls for the Government to scrap Collect and Pay charges for survivors of domestic violence.
