May I too congratulate the Minister on the successful passage of the Bill? He has done exceedingly well in steering this important Bill through the House. The other place has demonstrated its ability correctly to witness, scrutinise and improve what was already an important Bill. In my constituency—both in the...

I have no doubt that the electorate will hear that point. The hon. Lady has certainly been a great parliamentarian, and the House of Commons will be the worse for her not being in it after the election. She said that the debate would be topical literally as the Prime...

The hon. Gentleman is absolutely right and makes a good point, and I will mention in a few moments some specific things my party would like to see done. We certainly oppose the recent freeze, as we do not believe that pensioners should be the first to feel the pain...

I also congratulate the hon. Member for Islington, North (Jeremy Corbyn) on raising this issue. Following the hon.

That this House applauds Marie Curie Cancer Care nurses for the outstanding support they provide to terminally ill cancer patients and their families and those with other terminal illnesses at the end of their lives, allowing them to live out their final days surrounded by the people they love in their place of choice; recognises that such care can dramatically improve patients' quality of life; notes that 65 per cent. of people would wish to be cared for at home if they were terminally ill, yet only around 18 per cent. of people are able to die at home; further notes that caring for terminally ill patients in their homes does not increase the cost to the NHS; and calls on NHS trusts to guarantee funding for home-based palliative care.

That this House notes that the whaling moratorium was introduced in 1986 in order to combat the fact that many populations of the great whales had been drastically reduced by over-hunting, and that whaling itself, based on the firing of explosive harpoons into large and intelligent animals, was cruel; is concerned by the International Whaling Commission's (IWC) proposal to legitimise the commercial whaling activities of Japan, Norway and Iceland; understands that the proposal seeks to set official IWC quotas for whales that they may hunt, in all the places where they currently hunt them in defiance of the moratorium, including the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary, for the first time in 25 years; believes that such a proposal represents a conservational disaster; further believes that the proposal represents no guarantee of a significant reduction in the number of whales killed in the short term; and calls on the Government to oppose any proposal that condones or endorses commercial whaling if the issue is raised and voted on at the IWC conference in Agadir, Morocco, in June.

That this House rejects the proposal of Camelot to mix gambling with the cash payment of utility and other bills at the same terminals in local shops; notes that it seeks to exploit the fact that those who typically make cash bill payments, or top-up pre-payment gas and electricity meters are predominantly from social groups C2, D and E; considers that this is part of an ongoing and perverse campaign of income distribution whereby some of the poorest are coaxed into paying more and more for the entertainment and recreation of higher income groups; and asks the Government to send an early and unequivocal signal to the National Lottery Commission that Parliament will not passively accept this further exploitation of low-income groups.

That this House congratulates Human Rights Watch on its decision to showcase an award winning film, The Balibo Conspiracy, in London on 17 March 2010; notes that the film concerns the deaths of five journalists killed at Balibo in East Timor in October 1975, including British citizens Brian Peters and Malcolm Rennie, and of a sixth journalist, Roger East, killed in East Timor in December 1975; and invites the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to encourage the Indonesian government to lift its ban on that film and further to encourage the Indonesian government to co-operate with the investigation by the Australian Federal Police into the deaths of the five journalists killed at Balibo.

Can the hon. Lady explain why the British Army went through operational exercises Saif Sareea 1 and 2—in 2001 and 2002, if my memory serves me correctly—to practice armed action in a desert environment in Oman? Given the time it took to get equipment up to Iraq, why did we...
