That this House considers that the revelations exposed in The Guardian that British security services have examined the internet activities of British citizens without the consent of Parliament demonstrate that the Intelligence and Security Committee is not fit for purpose; believes that the Committee should be chaired by an hon. Member who has not served in a Department with responsibility for intelligence and security services for the purpose of avoiding any potential allegations of conflict of interest; and calls for any independent review reporting to Parliament on the appropriate structure and arrangements to ensure effective Parliamentary democratic scrutiny of the intelligence and security services.

That this House notes with sadness the death of Cliff Morgan OBE one of the greatest Wales and British and Irish Lions players who described the game of rugby as, a combination of opera, ballet and murder and played at a time when he humorously suggested Welsh players thought a coach was a posh bus; remembers his easy, deceptive humour which disguised the extensive abilities of a man who became one of the most consummate and influential television and radio sports commentators and television production executives; and further notes that he was a musician and gentleman and rounded individual who also pioneered the public promotion of disabled athletics and made a significant contribution to the celebrating of his country and its culture.

That this House welcomes The Big Switch initiative, led by Which? and 38 Degrees, that aims to help people struggling with rising energy prices using the combined switching power of thousands of consumers to negotiate a market-leading deal; regrets that 60 per cent. of consumers have never switched energy supplier and that 75 per cent. are currently on their suppliers' standard tariff; notes that consumers, for whom energy prices are the number one financial concern, are baffled by the array of tariffs and offers in the marketplace and often find themselves on more expensive deals when switching; further notes that the more people who sign up to The Big Switch, the better the bargaining position of consumerswill be and urges people to sign up before 31 March; and, acknowledging the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change's previous work on collective purchasing at the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, urges him to be supportive of this and similar schemes.

That this House notes the success of the Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme, introduced by the then Chancellor of the Exchequer in April 2001 as an interim measure pending review by the European Community of a directive covering rates of value added tax; further notes that whilst that work continues, the current scheme is due to end in March 2011; and requests that consideration is given early in the next Parliament to the continuation of reliefs on value added tax which the scheme provides for repairs, maintenance and professional fees to repair fixtures such as bells and organs to buildings of valuable heritage and community value in order to maintain them for future generations.

That this House is dismayed at the final recommendation, subject to appeal, from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) to withdraw erythropoietin (EPOs) as an approved treatment for cancer induced anaemia; notes that this decision will have a hugely detrimental effect on the quality of life of UK cancer sufferers, interfering with courses of cancer treatment and undermining the National Cancer Plan; understands that blood transfusions are the only suitable alternative for treatment; is concerned that this decision is in direct contravention of the Chief Medical Officer's advice that alternatives to blood transfusions should be sought due to the UK's already restricted blood supply; and calls upon the Secretary of State for Health and NICE to consider the wider implications of how supportive care drugs and therapies should be reviewed to give UK patients access to a treatment that is an accepted standard of care across Europe.

That this House welcomes the guidance document (Welsh Health Circular 2005 (016)) promoted by the Welsh Assembly Government, which gives guidance for partnership working between NHS organisations, primary care contractors, the pharmaceutical industry and allied commercial sector; welcomes the principle central to the guidance that partnership working must be conducted for the benefit of patients; supports the development of relationships rather than compelling partnerships; further supports the notion of openness and transparency at the heart of the guidance and the requirement that all partnership arrangements be documented in a register of ledger, available for audit and to the public on request; acknowledges that no partnership is allowed to require the purchase of particular goods or services and that the guidance helps ensure effective partnership working between NHS Wales and the pharmaceutical industry for better health service delivery in Wales; and further welcomes the recent revised United Kingdom pharmaceutical industry Code of Practice supported by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency revising self-regulation arrangements to help bring confidence to the development of best practice in the involvement of the pharmaceutical industry in developing healthcare.

That this House notes that approximately 412,000 people in the UK are likely to develop a new pressure ulcer annually, with the total cost of care estimated at between ??1.4 and ??2.1 billion or four per cent. of the NHS expenditure; further notes that diabetes is becoming a major health problem and that the five per cent. of diabetic patients who will develop a foot ulcer each year are 15 times more likely to need an amputation than people without the condition; believes that such ulcers can be prevented, amputation rates reduced and patients' quality of life improved by using new practices and technologies; congratulates the Tissue Viabililty Nurses Association (TVNA) for bringing this issue to this House's attention; and calls on the Government to work with the TVNA, patient groups and other stakeholders to review current policy and practice in this area.

That this House believes that the heroism of the sailors of the Royal Navy and the Merchant Navy who took part in the Arctic campaign during World War Two should be recognised with a medal; regrets that the men who served in the severest of weather conditions, unlike any other in the war, whilst running the gauntlet of air and submarine attack, in order to maintain supplies to Russia on the Eastern Front have never been properly recognised; therefore supports the campaign being run by the Portsmouth News; and calls on the Prime Minister to require the Honours and Decorations Committee to recommend to Her Majesty the Queen that an Arctic star, or clasp, is created in order finally to recognise the unique contribution, and sacrifice, made by these veterans.

That this House recognises the incalculable work that the 60-plus locally-based mountain and cave-rescue teams in England and Wales perform, in providing a free 999 service, along with their support to the police and other agencies; and further recognises these teams' abilities to give support at times of civil emergency and their extended contribution to community safety and security; notes the substantial increase in funding recently announced to similar teams across Scotland, particularly the additional funding received to allow for compatibility with future communication with new and developing communictions systems for the police and UK search and rescue and other agencies, effectively increasing by four times their core funding for the next three years; and calls therefore upon all relevant Government departments to review their support to such teams, with a view to providing a similar substantial increase in the financial support that can be made available to the teams in England and Wales, so that they can be properly recognised for the increasingly valuable contribution they make to our civil protection and society.
