That this House notes the results of a Gallup opinion survey which shows that seven out of 10 of all football supporters are opposed to the proposals for a Premier League; urges all of the football interests, including the governing bodies, clubs, players and supporters, to work together to achieve greater unity within the game so that it is better able to tackle the major problems identified in Lord Justice Taylor's report; and looks to the Football Association and the Football League to hold talks with no pre-conditions to plan a stable and confident future for the game.

That this House joins with the trade union RMT, the representative body of merchant navy ratings in Britain, in congratulating the General Council of British Shipping, the industry's employers' organisation, for its current campaign to gain ??60 million of budget aid for the United Kingdom merchant fleet; but in doing so, draws attention firstly to the past experiences of state aid to the United Kingdom merchant shipping industry, whereby direct and indirect subsidies have been channelled towards investment in foreign tonnage and the employment of low cost, third world crews; in particular points to the fact that the extension of the business expansion programme scheme to the shipping industry in 1987 failed to produce a single job for the United Kingdom rating; secondly, bears in mind the record of many members of the Council of British Shipping whose own companies have the practice in their deep sea, cruise and cargo fleets of the employment of low cost, third world ratings with many vessels flagged out to off shore registries; and therefore states that, whilst wishing every success to the employers' request for extra financial help to the industry, such assistance should be conditional upon the employment of United Kingdom-domiciled ratings, as well as the registration of vessels on the United Kingdom mainland register.

That this House congratulates Hoverspeed Great Britain on its record breaking crossing of the Atlantic, and notes the Prime Minister's congratulations; further notes that the catamaran was built in Tasmania and that the only European licence holder for constructing similar vessels is Aluminium Shipbuilders Limited; and therefore expresses astonishment that Aluminium Shipbuilders Limited are unable to construct these vessels, for which there is a huge and growing market, since the only location in the United Kingdom that is suitable is the Southwick covered construction hall in Sunderland which is not available to Aluminium Shipbuilders Limited due to the refusal of Her Majesty's Government to re-negotiate the secret agreement of the above mentioned yard and others in Sunderland.

That this House welcomes the petition presented to the Prime Minister, signed by more than 1600 British scientists working overseas, drawing attention to the drain of highly skilled scientists out of the United Kingdom because of the shortage of research funding and low morale; rejects the assertion by the Government that there is not a 'brain drain' problem; believes that this trend is doing immense harm to British science and our economic performance; and supports the call for investment in scientific research to be increased as a proportion of the national wealth in line with our major competitors.

That this House deplores the recent decisions of the Sunderland District Health Authority to suspend hip and knee replacement operations until April and the ordering of bed linen, uniforms and patients' clothing; further deplores planned cuts leading to ward closures and the loss of 165 full-time equivalent nursing and ancillary jobs; notes that this follows a decision to cash limit for the first time the prescription of certain drugs within the Sunderland District Health Authority area; fears that these savage cuts will only be the first step in the dismantling of the National Health Service by the Government; fails to understand how Her Majesty's Government can claim that they are providing adequate funding for the National Health Service when such cuts are taking place within the Sunderland Health Authority and many other health authorities; and calls on the Government to reverse this appalling situation.
