That this House believes that high-precision radiosurgery can offer thousands of cancer patients a treatment pathway previously denied to them; recognises that the CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System is the first next generation technology that is able to treat tumours anywhere in the body, including primary cancer in the lung, prostate, spine and brain, and secondary tumours from breast and colon cancer, non-invasively with sub-millimetre accuracy; welcomes the fact that the CyberKnife, unlike conventional radiotherapy, is able to treat patients in three days instead of 30 days as a result of its accuracy and multiple beam angles; is concerned to note that there are currently 180 CyberKnife systems treating patients around the world, including four in Turkey and two in India, but none within the NHS; understands that a number of primary care trusts (PCTs) have authorised and paid for patients to be treated by the CyberKnife in the private sector in the UK and abroad, at a cost of ??22,000 and above; further understands that if it were available within the NHS the treatment cost would be approximately ??10,000 and that the continued unavailability of CyberKnife within the NHS makes little economic sense; calls on the NHS to approve the use of the CyberKnife system so that PCTs have sufficient guidance to install the technology; and urges the Government to define a radiosurgery tariff that takes into account CyberKnife's shorter treatment time, so that NHS patients will be able to benefit from access to this next generation treatment for cancer.

That this House expresses concern that under 18 year olds are able to access easily unsupervised sunbed salons; further expresses strong concern that malignant melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer, is increasing at an alarming rate across the UK; notes with concern that the International Agency for Research on Cancer has re-classified sunbeds into its highest cancer risk category alongside tobacco; further notes research commissioned by Cancer Research UK found that in 2008-09 six per cent. of 11 to 17 year olds have used sunbeds; further notes that the research also found that 50 per cent. of 15 to 17 year old girls in Liverpool and Sunderland have used a sunbed; recognises that 87 per cent. of the UK public believe under 18 year olds should not use sunbeds, with 90 per cent. supporting sunbed salons being staffed; welcomes the private Member's Sunbed (Regulation) Bill which would make it an offence for an operator to allow under-18s to use sunbeds; and calls on hon. Members of both Houses to support legislation to protect children from sunbeds.

That this House recognises that Workers' Memorial Day is an internationally recognised day, 28 April, on which workers and trades unionists conduct events, demonstrations, vigils and a whole host of other activities to commemorate those who have died, been seriously injured, or made seriously ill by their work diseases; notes with regret that according to the Health and Safety Executive during 2008-09 1.2 million people were suffering from a long-standing or new case of illness they believed was caused or made worse by their current or past work, 180 workers were killed at work, and thousands of people died of mesothelioma and other occupational cancers and lung diseases; reaffirms the right of all workers to work in a safe and healthy workplace; and calls on the Government to officially recognise Workers' Memorial Day as a day of national remembrance.

That this House notes the judgement of the Law Lords in the appeal of Debbie Purdy requiring that the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) publish guidelines for those contemplating assisting another to commit suicide; further notes that in following the Law Lords, the DPP has produced a document informing people what to do to avoid prosecution; further notes that the DPP, like the Law Lords, states clearly that it is the function of Parliament, not the judiciary to make and amend legislation; considers that the guidelines override the will of Parliament; recalls that twice recently the House of Lords has rejected by a clear majority attempts to change the law on assisted suicide, the second time in July 2009 when a clause to introduce assisted suicide through the Coroners and Justice Bill was defeated by 191 votes to 141; further notes the comment of Lord Carlile of Berriew QC, a foremost human rights lawyer, that before prosecution for theft or grievous bodily harm, `we are not told how much we can steal...or how much injury we can inflict...'; further notes that through indicating to would-be offenders how best to avoid prosecution, the DPP will put the vulnerable at grave risk; and calls on the Government to require the withdrawal of the guidelines, leaving Parliament rather than the judiciary or unelected civil servants to consider whether to change the law, and making it clear to the judiciary that they are not permitted to override the supremacy of Parliament.
