That this House welcomes the launch in the House on 15th January, of IDICT an international campaign to bring Saddam Hussein and others in the current regime in Iraq before an int ernational tribunal to face charges of war crimes, crimes against humanity, crimes against peace and the crime of genocide; notes that since 1979 the Baathist regime in Iraq has committed repeated acts of brutality against the people of Iraq and the citizens of other countries; believes that charges against Saddam Hussein and his associates include the invasion of Iran and Kuwait, the occupation and destruction of Kuwait, the use of chemical weapons against the Kurds and against Iran, the genocidal campaign against the Kurds, the continued and systematic repression of Iraqi civilians, the systematic destruction of the land inhabited by the Marsh Arabs, politically motivated assasinations inside and outside Iraq, the abduction and continued detention of Kuwaiti and Iraqi citizens and the continued violation of Security Council resolutions; maintains that these well-documented acts violate international law as well as the basic norms of behaviour recognised by civilised laws; calls on the United Nations Security Council to set up an international tribunal to try the members of the Baathist regime in Iraq on the above-mentioned charges; and emphasises the most important reason for prosecuting those responsible is the need for justice, especially for the victims and their surviving relatives.

That this House notes responsibility of the honourable Member for Hartlepool for the Labour Election Campaign HQ, and the Campaign HQ's responsibility for the failed attempt to rig the result of the BBC Today Programme "Personality of the Year" poll; understands his lack of confidence in the ability of the Leader of the Labour Party to win the poll on his own merit and his recognition of the need to rig the poll; observes his incompetence in failing to succeed in his campaign to rig the poll, or even to place his Leader amongst the qualifying six; condemns his employment of senior civil servants in a party political capacity despite Labour's untrue allegations of political misuse of civil servants by the Government; notes the betrayal of subordinates by disclaiming responsibility for their actions; doubts his control over the organisation, highlighted by his denial of any foreknowledge of the Audience Participation Unit's scheme; and considers that this catalogue of events in taking responsibility for a small organisation throws into doubt his suitability to head any Department of State.

That this House, believing that airline passengers, United Kingdom trade and the British aviation industry can only benefit from an expansion of services from United Kingdom airports where demand already exists, particularly regional airports such as Manchester, requests the Secretary of State for Transport to take every opportunity to liberalise access for airlines wishing to serve these airports, so that regional travellers can use their own airports wherever possible to the benefit of economic development in those areas and slots can be freed at London's airports for services which will enhance one of the world's largest hubs; and particularly urges the Secretary of State to pursue this policy during the forthcoming talks with the Singapore Government so that both United Kingdom and Singapore carriers can operate between their two countries and beyond without predetermined restrictions in order to meet growing demand in timely fashion.
