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 supports moves to increase the recovery and recycling of packaging waste; welcomes the forthcoming Packaging Waste Regulations; reaffirms the commitment to the shared responsibility' principle whereby all parts of the packaging chain undertake to help recover and recycle packaging waste; notes with concern that the regulations as currently drafted allow for some parts of the packaging chain to substantially evade this shared responsibility; further notes that this imposes costs elsewhere in the packaging chain, weakens the ability of industry-wide compliance schemes such as VALPAK to operate successfully and jeopardises overall recovery and recycling targets; and calls upon the Government to amend the regulations to ensure that all parts of the packaging chain are treated equitably.

That this House notes the resumption of formal talks between the United Kingdom and the United States aimed at negotiating a new bilateral air services agreement to replace Bermuda II; believes that this provides an opportunity to conclude a durable deal of benefit to consumers and all United Kingdom airlines; bearing in mind the United States insistence that the agreement should be similar to those it has negotiated with other European countries, urges Her Majesty's Government to insist that, if the United States wants new rights for its carriers to fly into Heathrow, to pick up passengers and fly on to points within Europe and beyond, it should be prepared in return to amend its protectionist barriers, including those preventing United Kingdom carriers serving more cities in the United States, limiting foreign ownership of United States airlines and having shares in United States airlines,and to further the opportunities for British airlines to carry freight, including United States Government business, to, from and in the United States; believes that, if skies over the United Kingdom and Europe are to be declared open, this should be matched by genuine open skies over the United States; and believes that a successful negotiation on these lines would be in the long-term interests of consumers on both sides of the Atlantic.
