That this House welcomes the success of the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation (GAVI) through its work in averting the deaths of five million people since 2000 including the vaccination of an additional 233 million children against hepatitis B, sponsoring the development of a better value for money market in vaccines and tapping into effective financing in the capital markets through the World Bank and the International Finance Facility for Immunisation; supports the call for US$ 2.6 billion in additional funding for GAVI projects such that GAVI can save 4.2 million more lives in developing countries, preventing deaths from diseases such as hepatitis B, diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough and Haemophilus influenzae type B, but mainly from pneumonia and diarrhoea which kill up to 1.5 million children every year in developing countries; and is encouraged by the long-term agreements made by pharmaceutical firms to supply new, affordable vaccines against pneumococcal disease to the world's poorest countries.

That this House welcomes the increase in empty property rates threshold from ??15,000 to ??18,000, but considers it to be a short-term solution to a long-standing problem; and calls for the empty property rate relief to be extended permanently to give developers the ability to plan for further development of existing or old business centres in the long-term.

That this House believes that passing formal responsibility for tax deductions to commercial banks could lead to increased errors in tax deductions and could leave too much power with a part of the financial sector which has more challenging concerns than taking on the role of tax collector.

That this House is concerned by the report in The Irish Times of 19 January 2010 that six billion euros have been pumped into the capital base of the Irish subsidiaries of RBS and Lloyds TSB by these part-nationalised UK banks; recognises that not all of Ulster Bank's activities are in the Republic of Ireland but would prefer to see this six billion euros capital funding of Ulster Bank and Bank of Scotland (Ireland), which is provided indirectly by the UK taxpayer, returned to support lending to UK businesses and to see some of the shortfalls in capital at Ulster Bank and Bank of Scotland (Ireland) being provided by the Irish government.

That this House deplores the decision taken on 11 December 2009 by Turkey's Constitutional Court to close down the Democratic Society Party (DTP), the only pro-Kurdish legal political party in Turkey which, in recent elections, demonstrated that it has the support of millions of Kurdish voters and with 21 elected Members of Parliament has been playing a vital constructive role in the resolution of the protracted conflict that has claimed so many lives over the last three decades; notes that this is a deeply dismaying decision the repercussions of which will be far reaching and is a considerable setback for the achievement of a peaceful settlement of the conflict between Turkey and the Kurds and equally for Turkey's ambitions to join the European Union; further notes that by outlawing the DTP and preventing its leaders such as Ahmet Turk, who was recently a guest in the Palace of Westminster and of the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and other prominent figures such as Layla Zana from participating in politics for five years, the Turkish authorities are behaving totally irresponsibly; believes that in taking this course of action Turkey is reverting to an extremely regressive approach to the Kurdish question which appears to contradict the much-promoted reform process of Prime Minister Erdogan and will not bring about the peace that constructive forces in Turkey desire; and calls on the UK Government to exert pressure on Turkey to fully abide by the international conventions and democratic norms to which it is a signatory.

That this House welcomes the European Court of Human Right's ruling that stop and search without suspicion, as exercised under section 44 of the Terrorism Act, is illegal under Clause 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, the right to a private and family life; notes the comments of Lord Carlile, the Government's independent reviewer of anti-terrorist legislation, that the stop and search powers under section 44 are `being used far too often on a random basis without any reasoning behind their use'; further notes that individuals should not feel shackled by laws designed to ensure their safety and liberty, but recognises that a power to stop and search which does not infringe the rights of the individual is necessary in the defence of the realm; and believes that, while the Government undertakes its appeal, stop and search powers should be used with more discretion.
