That this House calls on the Government to acknowledge that over 3,000 people with haemophilia have been infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) as a result of NHS treatment with contaminated blood products, to recognise that over 60 people with haemophilia are now understood to have died from liver disease contracted as a result, and to consider giving similar financial assistance to those infected with HCV, who currently receive no additional help, as for those infected in the same way with HIV who have been compensated by the Government.

That this House notes with concern the proposed re-organisation of the BBC and in particular the potential impact on the World Service; recognises that the huge international following the World Service has built up is of great benefit to Britain's image abroad and has been achieved through the independence of the excellent programme makers at Bush House; further recognises that the World Service in English and the language services are inextricably linked; and calls on the BBC Chairman and Board of Governors to guarantee that the distinctive nature of World Service programming with its unrivalled reputation for impartiality will not be impaired by any organisational changes and that costs to the service will not rise as a result of them; urges them to continue to accord the World Service the highest priority in their deliberations, recognising that it is a jewel in the BBC's crown; and calls on the Government also to recognise the unique value of the World Service and to make proper financial provision for it.

That this House notes that the Government proposes to sell all Ministry of Defence married quarters in England and Wales, including those occupied by service families as well as empty properties, to developers; further notes that this will leave service tenants dependent on a declining number of properties leased back for 25 years; notes that most of the properties can be exchanged by the developer with a neutral arbitrator, rather than the tenants or the Ministry of Defence, deciding whether or not exchanges are permitted; notes that the arbitrator will have to base his decision on set criteria which are vaguely worded, so that developers with expert legal advice will be able progressively to cream off the best estates; notes that steep rises in rents and the downward ratchet on the number of homes leased back, embodied in the proposed scheme, will progressively reduce and break up married quarter estates; notes that, especially at a time of overstretch, and poor recruiting and retention these estates play a vital role in maintaining the morale of service families and the maintenance of the regimental system; and calls on the Government to dispose of surplus estates, to provide homes for civilian families but, before selling any estate with service tenants, to consult the tenants on the estate, to report to Parliament on the outcome of the consultation and to table an affirmative resolution in both Houses.

That this House supports World Osteoporosis Day whose purpose is to increase awareness of this serious and increasingly common condition where the skeleton becomes so porous that bones break very easily; notes with concern that the condition affects more than 30 per cent. of all women over 50 years of age and at least one in 12 men; welcomes the initiatives being promoted by the National Osteoporosis Society; urges health authorities and trusts to provide the services recommended for the identification and treatment of osteoporosis suffers by the Department of Health's Advisory Board in November 1994; looks forward to further developments to reduce suffering and distress; and therefore supports World Osteoporosis Day and its goals.

That this House welcomes the initiative of Contact a Family in co-ordinating the Special Families-Special Needs Week 8-14th June to raise awareness of the lives of families caring for children with rare conditions; notes that most rare conditions are known as orphan diseases meaning that treatments, therapies and research may not attract current funding because the conditions affect relatively few families; further notes that the current methods of collecting statistics are haphazard or non-existent, making it difficult to be specific about numbers affected but, as diagnostic techniques improve, known incidence increases; and recognises the difficulties faced by these families in obtaining a diagnosis, learning to care for their children and carry out complex medical procedures as well as incurring additional pressures in accessing relevant information and early access to relevant specialists.
