That this House notes the recent Fellowes poll on identity theft which found that 81 per cent. of the British public are concerned about becoming a victim of identity theft; calls upon the Government to combat identity theft by issuing clear guidelines to individuals and businesses, detailing the most effective ways to destroy information containing personal details; and believes that education is an effective way for the public to learn more about identity theft so people will destroy personal information and in turn will begin to make identity theft more difficult for criminals.

That this House welcomes the International Development Select Committee's investigation into Darfur, but believes that in order to improve the UK response to the threat of genocide, lessons need to be learned from the failure of the UK to take action, in the Security Council and elsewhere, to try to prevent Rwanda's descent into genocide; and believes that, as have other parliaments, the appropriate parliamentary committee should establish an inquiry into the UK response to the threat of genocide in Rwanda in 1993-94.

That this House welcomes the New Law Now To Protect Our Sea Life campaign by the Marine Conservation Society, RSPB, Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society, The Wildlife Trusts and WWF under the banner of Wildlife and Countryside Link; notes that this coalition of organisations is advocating comprehensive new legislation to improve the protection and management of the marine environment around the UK; further notes that they are campaigning for this legislation to include improved protection of wildlife sites and species at sea and a planning system for the seas to allow wildlife conservation and economic and recreational activities to be planned and co-ordinated in a rational way; and calls on the Government to bring forward a Marine Bill at the earliest opportunity to deliver these multiple gains, and ensure a sustainable future for the UK's seas and their wildlife.

That this House deeply regrets that for the last 30 years key areas of the town of Famagusta have remained closed, unoccupied and underdeveloped; calls on the Government to make clear to both Turkish Cypriot authorities and the Government of Turkey that to allow this situation to continue is to be deeply deplored; believes that they could and should enter into negotiations with the Government of the Republic of Cyprus on re-opening this important area of Famagusta and that doing so would clearly show a real commitment to developing policies that would bring major benefits to both Greek and Turkish Cypriots who have close links with Famagusta and would undoubtedly greatly help improve the image of Turkey as it seeks to develop its possible future membership of the European Union.

That this House is dismayed that the Government has resumed deportations to Zimbabwe despite increasing intimidation and brutality by ZANU-PF gangs; is alarmed that individuals who escaped with their lives should be reconsigned to threatening circumstances; notes that one such is Edneth Gotora whose husband was beaten to death by ZANU-PF thugs for no more than distributing leaflets, whilst her infant daughter was injured so badly that she died weeks later from injuries sustained during the attack; further notes that the culprits were apprehended but released immediately on bail whereupon they returned and abducted Edneth to a rehabilitation camp where she was raped and brutalised by the `commandant' and his henchmen such that she had to be hospitalised; further notes that, with assistance from an orderly, Edneth escaped and hid herself prior to making her way successfully to England; regrets that Edneth's plea for asylum was refused on the grounds that her husband was now dead and that she is now safe; is aware that a petition of 17,500 signatures is to be presented to the Home Office by the Reverend Sheila Maxey, Moderator of the General Assembly of the United Reform Church; recognises that, while the Government pays lip service to the issues of domestic violence there is violence on a national scale in Zimbabwe, yet Edneth seems destined to be despatched to the same dangerous circumstances from which she escaped; and therefore calls upon the Home Secretary to exercise his discretion under the law to grant this much wronged lady the shelter she so desperately needs.

That this House welcomes the publication of the new chapter of the national service framework for coronary heart disease focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias; acknowledges the hard work done by the Department of Health and other stakeholders in producing the document so quickly following its commissioning in May 2004; supports the Arrhythmia Alliance in disseminating the new chapter during Arrhythmia Awareness Week; recognises that the United Kingdom is well below the Western European average for the utilisation of treatments such as pacemakers and implantable defibrillators; further recognises that these treatments could help reduce hospital admissions for heart failure and falls in the elderly and prevent many of the 110,000 deaths each year from sudden cardiac death; and calls upon the Government to make the implementation of the chapter an absolute priority for NHS organisations, thus ensuring patients have rapid and equitable access to diagnosis and treatment of these distressing and potentially life threatening conditions.

That this House expresses its deep concern at the continuing crisis in care for the elderly and in particular those who suffer from Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia; notes that the Government's current definition of nursing care fails to include nursing care that is provided by trained care staff specialised in providing nursing care to dementia sufferers; is concerned that the Government has drawn the definition of nursing care particularly tightly, thereby excluding many aspects of care; is further concerned at the considerable uncertainty and fear that is currently being generated amongst those who care for Alzheimer's sufferers due to the possible withdrawal of drugs in respect of which there is no alternative medication; and urges the National Institute for Clinical Excellence fully to reflect the evidence of clinical benefit for users and carers in determining a final recommendation on drug therapies for Alzheimer's.

That this House supports the campaign to Raise the Roof on stamp duty by increasing the tax threshold from ??60,000 to ??150,000; notes that the percentage of first-time buyers exempt from stamp duty has fallen from 70 per cent. to 24 per cent. in the past 10 years; and agrees with the West Bromwich Building Society and Mortgage Watchdog's chief Monty Burn that recent house inflation justifies the removal of this penalty in order to provide relief to people on low incomes.

That this House notes that Alzheimer's disease currently affects nearly half a million people in the UK and that it is a chronic, progressive, degenerative and distressing disease for which there is no cure; deplores the cost-cutting plans of the National Institute for Clinical Excellence which will deny vital drugs to hundreds of thousands of Alzheimer's sufferers, claiming that they are too expensive when they would cost the National Health Service a meagre ??2.50 per day; further notes that the effective proposed ban on these drugs is not based on their safety and efficacy but simply on the interpretation of a statistical model of cost-effectiveness; further notes that doctors have condemned this decision as a disaster for patients, their families and carers; and that they believe that it would be irresponsible to deny patients and their carers the benefits of these treatments; further notes that the decision goes against good clinical practice and represents a callous disregard for elderly people; recognises that the Government should recommend drugs based on clinical need; applauds the Daily Mail's campaign for the retention of these drugs; and calls upon the Government to reject this advice.
