That this House notes that new draft National Policy Statement for Nuclear Power Generation, as published on 9 November 2009, concludes its section on radioactive waste management with the remarkable assertion, at paragraph 3.8.20, that `Having considered this issue, the Government is satisfied that effective arrangements will exist to manage and dispose of the waste that will be produced from new nuclear power stations. As a result the IPC (the Infrastructure Planning Commission) need not consider this question'; considers the implication that the most contentious aspect of new nuclear power is not even going to be examined by the new IPC is democratically unacceptable and will lead to bad public policy; further notes that on the same date an explanatory leaflet distributed by the IPC to Ministers states: `The new IPC process will provide clearer and better opportunities for the public and local communities to get involved from an early stage in decisions that will affect them'; and requests that Ministers allow the IPC to scrutinise plans for radioactive waste management, storage and disposal.

That this House recognises the vital work done by children's heart centres across the country; understands that both children themselves and their parents can suffer extraordinary distress when a child is found to be suffering from a problem with their heart early in life; notes with alarm that a review is currently underway to assess the viability of up to 11 children's heart centres in the UK; further notes in particular the especially good work recently undertaken by the children's heart centre in Leeds General Infirmary in successfully operating on Liam Hey to repair a problem with his heart when he was just eight weeks old; laments that the closure of such an establishment would be detrimental to the surrounding community and would increase the anxiety of parents should their children be in the unfortunate position of having a problem with their heart; and calls on the Government to take all possible action to ensure that these centres stay open and continue to provide a valuable service to the young families of Great Britain.

That this House accepts expert evidence that pleural plaques represent a change to the anatomy of the sufferer evidenced by the abnormal scarring caused by the permanent physical penetration of asbestos fibres; believes the Law Lords ruling that physiological damage as well as anatomical damage is necessary for an injury to constitute actionable damage is clearly inconsistent with other areas of personal injury; notes that many sufferers of the condition would receive compensation if the scarring was on the outside of the body; and calls on the Secretary of State for Justice to restore the status quo ante to allay the strong sense of injustice felt by sufferers who have sustained asbestos exposure through their employers' negligence and have been unable to proceed with a court action since the Law Lords decision of October 2007.
