That this House notes the cuts that have been announced in education services in Northern Ireland; deplores the fact that many well-run schools are faced with an impossible position of trying to maintain what is rightly regarded as the best education system in the United Kingdom in the face of such cutbacks; and calls upon the Secretary of State to indicate support for such well-run schools by ensuring that adequate funding is in place to continue the educational excellence for which Northern Ireland has become so well known.

That this House notes that the Advertising Standards Authority has agreed that game meat can fairly be described as wild, natural and free-range and would encourage people to eat game meat as it is produced from animals which live in a wild and natural environment, and offers a low-fat addition to a healthy diet.

That this House welcomes the New Law Now To Protect Our Sea Life campaign by the Marine Conservation Society, RSPB, Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society, The Wildlife Trusts and WWF under the banner of Wildlife and Countryside Link; notes that this coalition of organisations is advocating comprehensive new legislation to improve the protection and management of the marine environment around the UK; further notes that they are campaigning for this legislation to include improved protection of wildlife sites and species at sea and a planning system for the seas to allow wildlife conservation and economic and recreational activities to be planned and co-ordinated in a rational way; and calls on the Government to bring forward a Marine Bill at the earliest opportunity to deliver these multiple gains, and ensure a sustainable future for the UK's seas and their wildlife.

That this House is dismayed that the Government has resumed deportations to Zimbabwe despite increasing intimidation and brutality by ZANU-PF gangs; is alarmed that individuals who escaped with their lives should be reconsigned to threatening circumstances; notes that one such is Edneth Gotora whose husband was beaten to death by ZANU-PF thugs for no more than distributing leaflets, whilst her infant daughter was injured so badly that she died weeks later from injuries sustained during the attack; further notes that the culprits were apprehended but released immediately on bail whereupon they returned and abducted Edneth to a rehabilitation camp where she was raped and brutalised by the `commandant' and his henchmen such that she had to be hospitalised; further notes that, with assistance from an orderly, Edneth escaped and hid herself prior to making her way successfully to England; regrets that Edneth's plea for asylum was refused on the grounds that her husband was now dead and that she is now safe; is aware that a petition of 17,500 signatures is to be presented to the Home Office by the Reverend Sheila Maxey, Moderator of the General Assembly of the United Reform Church; recognises that, while the Government pays lip service to the issues of domestic violence there is violence on a national scale in Zimbabwe, yet Edneth seems destined to be despatched to the same dangerous circumstances from which she escaped; and therefore calls upon the Home Secretary to exercise his discretion under the law to grant this much wronged lady the shelter she so desperately needs.

That this House expresses its deep concern at the continuing crisis in care for the elderly and in particular those who suffer from Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia; notes that the Government's current definition of nursing care fails to include nursing care that is provided by trained care staff specialised in providing nursing care to dementia sufferers; is concerned that the Government has drawn the definition of nursing care particularly tightly, thereby excluding many aspects of care; is further concerned at the considerable uncertainty and fear that is currently being generated amongst those who care for Alzheimer's sufferers due to the possible withdrawal of drugs in respect of which there is no alternative medication; and urges the National Institute for Clinical Excellence fully to reflect the evidence of clinical benefit for users and carers in determining a final recommendation on drug therapies for Alzheimer's.

That this House congratulates Headway, the brain injury association, for organising Brain Injury Awareness Week, which is taking place between 14th and 20th March; notes that the theme for this year's event is ageing carers, since many carers are the parents of a brain injury sufferer; further notes that people who sustain such an injury are frequently between the ages of 15 to 29 and will still have a normal life expectancy; recognises, in the light of this, that the provision of health care for a brain injury sufferer is a deep concern, particularly for ageing parents; and further congratulates the local branches of Headway, numbering more than 100, who will be organising events across the country such as receptions with their local honourable Members to raise funds and generate awareness of brain injuries.

That this House congratulates the Lavender Trust, a subsidiary of Breast Cancer Care, for organising Lavender Week which is running from 28th February until 6th March; notes that the event is aimed at promoting awareness of breast cancer, particularly among young women, and helping younger sufferers of the disease; recognises that work done in this area is vital, since 80 per cent. of breast cancer cases are in women over 50, and so younger victims of breast cancer can often feel isolated; further notes that all money raised through this event will be used to increase the availability of the services provided by Breast Cancer Care; and further congratulates Lavender Trust and all of its supporters for having raised over ??1 million since 1998.

That this House welcomes the contribution mobile communications technology is making to improving the delivery of public services, particularly health, transport, policing and local government; believes that this technology can improve efficiency, cut bureaucracy and reduce the burden on essential front line services, by offering public sector workers access to important information and data as and when it is needed; notes that mobile technology services such as general practitioner appointment reminders by text message or real time travel information via the mobile internet offer personalised access to public sector services; further notes the potential of third generation mobile communications to improve access to information and services; and urges the Government to consider seriously its widespread use in public sector reform and improvements.

That this House notes the conclusion of the preliminary report of the Joint Committee on Human Rights on the Prevention of Terrorism Bill, chaired by the honourable Member for Bristol East, that 'there can be no justification for including such wide and unprecedented powers of executive detention in legislation which is being rushed through Parliament at a speed which prevents proper scrutiny'; further notes the decision of the honourable Member to vote for the programme motion for the bill, against the amendment in the name of her honourable friend the Member for Bridgend and for third reading of the unamended bill; and invites her to explain how her committee's report is compatible with her votes on this bill.

That this House congratulates Jamie Oliver on his groundbreaking Channel 4 series, Jamie's School Dinners, and his Feed Me Better campaign; notes the worrying increase of child obesity across the United Kingdom and the negative effects that a poorly balanced diet has on pupils' concentration, behaviour and social skills; is appalled that the average 35 to 45 pence per meal available to schools is a quarter of what is available in Her Majesty's prisons; welcomes the Government's introduction of tougher minimum standards allowing less sugar, fat and salt in school meals but calls on it to ban processed foods from school meals altogether and to encourage schools to adopt the Feed Me Better Manifesto for Change; and further calls on the Government to focus on implementing a healthy diet-exercise balance in all our schools.
