That this House applauds the editor of the Nelson Leader, Roy Prenton, for his decision to publish an article on 28th January drawing attention to the scourge of abandoned cars in Pendle; notes that the story carried a photograph of a Mercedes with the caption, `Dumped: A once luxurious Mercedes is now a disgrace on the streets of Pendle'; further notes that the owner, Barrowford lawyer, J.P. Croasdale, considers the article defamatory on the grounds that the car is not abandoned but is awaiting restoration and, although he is not named, many people in the village know he is the owner of this wreck of a Mercedes; further notes with incredulity that J.P. Croasdale has contacted the Editor and the honourable Member for Pendle citing the Defamation Act 1996 and claiming the article has lowered him in the estimation of normal right thinking people and has exposed him to hatred, contempt or ridicule and because of the implication of criminal activities could cause him to be shunned or avoided; considers this to be lawyerly bluster that frightens no-one; believes that he should do his restoration in a garage out of public sight and not on a strip of open private land adjoining the major road through Barrowford; and further believes that the Government should seek to amend the Clean Neighbourhoods Bill to close this loophole of dangerous, unsightly wrecks being allowed to blight the visual amenity of neighbourhoods while their owners shelter behind the excuse that the vehicle in question is lawfully parked on private land.

That this House notes with considerable concern that communities up and down the United Kingdom are becoming bombarded with mobile phone mast applications, often repeatedly so; further notes that the 10 point guidance by the industry to regulate and regularise such applications is more honoured in the breach than the observance; further notes that it is now almost five years since the Stewart Report dealt with health-related issues and, because concerns are increasing and scientific understanding has moved on and the output of such masts have increased, calls upon the Government urgently to look again at planning guidance in relation to mast applications and to recall the Stewart Committee in order that health aspects of mast applications can be reassessed.

That this House remembers the principles established in the Access to Justice Act 1999 that it is not enough for people to have rights but that they must be able to enforce these rights; notes with concern that the number of people assisted by Community Legal Service funds has dropped by nearly half the number of those funded in 2000; recognises that anticipated additional funding from local authorities meant to provide legal and advice services has not occurred, giving rise to a legal aid lottery which denies people access to justice; notes with alarm that two law centres in Humberside and Liverpool face closure because local authorities have reduced or stopped their funding; further notes that people are increasingly losing their right to seek independent legal advice; believes that this undermines Government objectives for regenerating deprived neighbourhoods, affects the most vulnerable and socially excluded members of society and ensures that such legal triumphs as Humberside's victory in winning redundancy payments for fishermen are unlikely now to be repeated; and calls on the Government to adopt a five-year plan to tackle disadvantage and which will secure funds to develop a national network of law centres and advice providers.

That this House recognises the invaluable contribution made by House of Commons cleaners towards ensuring the smooth running of this House; is dismayed with the poor pay and working conditions of the cleaners who are paid a miserly ??4.85 per hour with only 12 days' paid holiday per annum, statutory sick pay only and no company pension; finds these employment terms and conditions shameful and totally unacceptable in 21st century Britain; wholeheartedly supports the claim made by the Transport and General Workers Union, who represent cleaners in the House, for better wages and improved working conditions; believes that the cleaners' claim should not be ignored or their work continued to be taken for granted; and urges the House authorities and the contractors that employ the cleaners to accept their claim for ??6.70 per hour, 20 days' paid holiday per annum, company sick pay and a company pension to ensure they receive a fair deal.
