That this House condemns the continuing political support from the Conservative Party and its former Vice-Chair, the Right honourable Member for Chertsey and Walton, for the Albanian regime's leader, Sali Berisha, whose support for financially deregulated pyramid schemes has led to widespread financial ruin for Albanians; expresses concern that British diplomatic and trade support for the Shqiponja and VEFA holding company linked to Albania's ruling Democratic Party as well as for the Democratic Party itself may have led to violations of the Vienna Convention on the use of diplomatic bags as well as complicity in arms dealing with Rwanda and Afghanistan; calls for independent expert examination of artefacts thought to be from the National History Museum of Tirana given as gifts to the Prime Minister and other ministers by Sali Berisha in 1994; and urges the Westminster Conservative Association not to allow its address to be used by apologists for the Berisha regime.

That this House notes the importance of the Special Session of the United Nations to be held in June 1997, known as Earth Summit Two, which will review progress made in the area of sustainability since the Earth Summit in 1992, including efforts to restrain carbon dioxide emissions and to conserve endangered species, and will set out new targets for future action, including the protection of forests and the establishment of financial mechanisms to find sustainable development; believes that the concept of sustainable development is even more relevant now than it was in 1992; calls upon the United Kingdom Government to place sustainable development at the heart of its policy framework; and urges the Prime Minister to make a commitment to attending Earth Summit Two.

That this House notes the growing concern amongst the world's insurance companies about the huge costs which will arise if insufficient international action is taken to curb man made climate change, costs which will eventually fall on many businesses and individuals; notes the many other concerns in this country about the economic and ecological effects of climate change which is increasingly believed to be already occurring; therefore welcomes the strong lead being taken by the UK Government at the United Nations Conference in Geneva in calling for significant cuts in greenhouse gas emissions by all nations; commends the Government's responsible long term approach to this and other significant sustainable development issues; further notes that this contrasts sharply with the irresponsible approach of the Labour Party, which has so little interest in environment policy that its recent Manifesto document contained not a single reference to either sustainable development or biodiversity; regrets that the only Labour figure who is discernably speaking on climate change at present is John Mortimer, who naively belittles the risks and dismisses people's concerns; but has to conclude that this is the closest anybody is likely to get to a meaningful statement of Labour Party environment policy.

That this House calls on Surrey County Council to desist from its plans to build a large scale waste processing and incineration plant next door to the world renowned Royal Horticultural Society's garden at Wisley; notes that the proposed industrial complex will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, bringing heavy lorries, congestion, noise, smells and pollution which will blight this precious garden which is of national, scientific and aesthetic importance; further notes, that the proposed complex is likely to cover 20 acres, with buildings up to 100 feet high and a chimney 235 feet high; and considers that if proceeded with, this project would be vandalism and violation of both the green belt and particularly Wisley garden, and would show that Surrey County Council is controlled by people with neither sense nor sensibility.
