That this House commends the vital work of Hedgehog Rescue, which treats, rehabilitates and cares for over 300 hedgehogs a year in South Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Bath, Somerset and Bristol, including orphaned young that must be hand reared before release; recognises the tireless dedication of the whole team, and in particular Yvonne Cox, who has given 27 years of service to the rescue and regularly delivers educational talks to schools and community groups on protecting local wildlife; notes with concern that hedgehogs continue to suffer death and injury on the roads and through litter, habitat destruction and the use of garden tools and chemicals; is deeply concerned that the rescue will be forced to cease operations this year, in significant part due to the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) under care guidance, which requires a physical veterinary examination before antibiotics, antiparasitics, antivirals or antifungals can be prescribed, leaving small wildlife rescues unable to access timely treatment during outbreaks such as coccidiosis; recognises that this guidance was introduced to tackle antimicrobial resistance and protect declining insect populations, but believes its blanket application is having a disproportionate and unintended effect on wildlife rescues operating at scale and often facing unresponsive practices; and calls on the Government to work with the RCVS and the Veterinary Medicines Directorate to review the impact of this guidance on wildlife rescue centres.

That this House condemns the ongoing, unprovoked, and illegal aggression of the Russian Federation both at home and across Europe; notes with grave concern the increasing hostility by Russian naval vessels and aircraft across northern European waters, including within the British Channel and the Norwegian Sea, which pose a direct threat to UK security; expresses alarm at the Russian shadow fleet actively bypassing international price caps and national sanctions to move roughly 40% of Russian oil; regrets that these illicit vessels transport sanctioned cargo near to UK territorial waters, bankrolling the Kremlin's brutal war machine in Ukraine; urges the Government to take a decisive stance by working alongside international allies to completely ban the provision of all maritime services for the export of Russian oil, oil products, gas, and coal, thereby choking off the critical energy revenues funding Putin's hybrid warfare and hostile regional aggression; and further urges the Government to expand its interdiction of Russian shadow vessels transporting oil illegally near UK waters, selling the captured cargo to raise money for Ukraine.

That this House recognises that access to affordable energy is a basic necessity and that no household should face a choice between heating their home and meeting other essential needs; notes that households continue to face significant financial pressure from energy bills following continued volatility in global gas markets; further notes that monopoly energy network operators are on course to receive up to £7 billion in unearned windfall profits under the current RIIO-2 price control framework, not through improved performance but through an unintended consequence of the regulatory system; believes those unexpected profits should be used to cut energy bills for all households rather than to enrich shareholders; also notes that this would help tackle the trend of rising energy debt, therefore supporting the resilience of our energy market; further believes that additional targeted support must be provided to vulnerable households and families with children facing high energy costs; notes reports that the Rt hon. Member for Makerfield is considering proposals similar to the Liberal Democrats' essential energy guarantee, which would provide every household with a discount on its essential energy consumption; urges him to commit to this approach for the benefit of everyone in Great Britain; and calls on the Government to bring forward permanent reforms to reduce energy bills, including a 10-year emergency home upgrade programme, reform of the electricity market to reduce reliance on global gas prices, and accelerated investment in home-grown renewable energy.

That this House acknowledges the second anniversary of the International Court of Justice's Advisory Opinion on 19 July 2024, which noted that Israel’s continuing presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPTs) is unlawful; regrets the Government's continuing and unjustifiable failure to provide the UK's assessment on the Court's opinion; believes that the UK is failing to meet its obligations in relation to the Court's opinion; recognises that only a two-state solution and a lasting peace can deliver security and dignity for both Israelis and Palestinians; further recognises that securing progress towards a two-state solution requires consistent and robust action to end Israel's occupation; further regrets the continuing administrative and arbitrary detention of Palestinians across the OPTs ; calls therefore on the UK Government to immediately publish its response to the Court; urges the Government to work with international partners to press the Israeli Government to allow journalists and human rights investigators full access to Gaza to support the collection of evidence of war crimes there; further calls on the UK Government to meet its commitments to uphold international law, including by banning all UK trade in goods and services with illegal Israeli settlements, by sanctioning Ministers responsible for facilitating and encouraging illegal expansion, including Prime Minister Netanyahu, and by banning all UK arms exports to Israel including F-35 components.

That this House notes with concern recent polling indicating that almost half of Generation Z, those born between 1997 and 2012, do not expect the State Pension will exist by the time they reach retirement age; recognises the vital role of the State Pension in providing a foundation of financial security in later life, and the importance of a secure retirement as a reward for decades of work and contribution; is concerned that declining confidence among young workers, including in Yeovil constituency, in the future of the State Pension risks undermining the post-war social contract between generations and eroding confidence in the long-term value of work; further notes the scale of the challenge facing Generation Z in the labour market, including reports that, without intervention, one in six young people could be outside education, employment or training within five years; and calls on the Government to protect long-term confidence in the State Pension, including by maintaining the Triple Lock, and to provide greater support and opportunities, including through apprenticeship reform and action to address youth unemployment, so that young people can build secure and sustainable working lives.

That this House believes Royal Mail’s continuing poor postal delivery performance, is effectively enabled by OFCOM's regulatory failings; further believes that this is adversely affecting residents and businesses, with consequent missed medical appointments, missed court decisions, fines for non-payment of bills and numerous other significant impacts; also believes that Royal Mail has not met its quarterly service targets, reflecting a growing national crisis in postal reliability, in spite of OFCOM fining Royal Mail £21 million this year, following fines in previous years; is concerned Royal Mail continues to seek to lower the standards of the Universal Service Obligation; believes these problems do not reflect on the hard-working front-line postal delivery staff who have been let down by an over-centralised management structure and profit-before-service orientated owners; and therefore calls on the Government to intervene to insist that OFCOM pressures Royal Mail to meet it's operational targets, ensure that Royal Mail takes immediate remedial action to restore service reliability and to address staffing shortages and morale, and for OFCOM to fully utilise its enforcement powers, and to ensure the Universal Service Obligation is protected.
