That this House applauds the initiative being promoted by Christian Aid to raise awareness among British and other European parliamentarians of the problem of Third World debt; and supports Christian Aid's call for the Trinidad Terms to be made available to all low income countries and all lower middle income countries with debt problems, for the debt relief offered to be at least 50 per cent., increasing to 80 per cent. for the poorest countries, for the whole stock of debt to be addressed, for the United States of America to be encouraged to cancel rather than reschedule debts and for the British Government to ensure that there is a comparable response from the United Kingdom commercial banks.

That this House congratulates The Guardian and the Edinburgh Evening News for publishing statements by the honourable Member for Edinburgh, Leith, correcting a number of unfounded allegations, particularly that he had been deselected; accepts that he won reselection when Leith Labour Party members last had the democratic right to freely choose their prospective parliamentary candidate; notes that a defeated challenger has been imposed on Leith constituency, contrary to accepted rules; recognises that a party official involved in the second reselection, which excluded the honourable Member, lost his brief-case, and, although it was returned, the contents also revealed discrimination against women and ethnic minorities; regrets that Larry Whitty and Joyce Gould, senior Labour representatives, have refused to investigate this incident, despite protests from the Trade Union movement, who have copies of the documents; and calls on the Leader of the Labour Party to ensure that the complaint is fully debated by Labour's National Executive Committee.

That this House believes that imprisonment without evidence or a fair trial is wrong in principle and that internment of suspected terrorists in Northern Ireland would be a mistake of historic proportions; recognises that, in the light of recent tragic incidents, calls for the introduction of internment may be understandable but that its introduction would be entirely counter-productive; further believes that internment would not only be an affront to civil liberties and put the British Government in the international dock but it would also, as in the past, increase support for paramilitaries, further divide communities along sectarian lines and sow confusion, anger and resentment in these communities that the paramilitaries could feed on; instead urges increased democracy, economic reform and support for peace activities to create the space for non-sectarian politics in Northern Ireland which could undermine paramilitary activities and allow wider demilitarisation of the Province; and stresses the urgency of economic reform since mass unemployment, poverty and deprivation provide the bitter breeding grounds for sectarianism and paramilitarism.
