That this House considers it would be more appropriate for messages from HM the Queen to be notified accordingly at the despatch box rather than by the current ceremonial practice of a whip coming into the Chamber carrying their wand of office, a stick and then walking to the table of the House to announce that message.

That this House believes that it is not at all necessary for a Committee to be appointed to draw up reasons to be assigned for disagreeing to the House of Lords in its amendments, as on 13 March 2017, Official Report, column 82; and further believes that such a procedure occurs simply because it has been carried out for so long.

That this House notes the changes announced in 2014 which allowed war widows or widowers who lost their spouse or cohabiting partner in service in the armed forces before 6 April 2005, and had not remarried by 1 April 2015, to retain their war widow pension for life regardless of ongoing relationship status; further notes that this excluded war widows bereaved before 6 April 2005 who remarried between 31 March 1973 and 6 April 2005 and lost their war widows pension upon remarrying; believes that this is arbitrary, morally wrong and unjustifiable; notes the example of Susan Rimmer, from Otley, whose husband Private James Lee was killed in Northern Ireland in 1972 when Susan was 19, married for just nine months and six months pregnant; notes that Susan lost her war widow pension upon remarrying in 1989 and since then has received no compensation for the loss of her first husband and her daughter's father; notes the Ministry of Defence say her payment can only be reinstated if she divorces her second husband but could then keep it if she remarried him; further believes this to be absurd and not how we should treat families of those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the UK; believes that everyone who lost partners in service to their country at any time should receive equal compensation on an ongoing basis regardless of relationship status; therefore supports the campaign backed by the Wharfedale and Aireborough Observer; and urges the Government to correct this injustice.

That this House expresses concern that some terminally ill adults end their suffering by travelling abroad to die, committing suicide, asking a loved one for assistance to die, or are illegally assisted to die by their doctor; notes that the Suicide Act 1961 aims to protect vulnerable people by prohibiting complicity in suicide; welcomes the Government's plans to modernise the law via the Coroners and Justice Bill to make it explicitly clear that this prohibition applies to the internet; further notes that there are concerns that the Suicide Act 1961 is not fit for purpose; and calls for a full debate on whether the law should be updated sufficiently to protect vulnerable people whilst distinguishing between assisting suicide and assisting the death of a mentally competent terminally ill adult.

That this House expresses its admiration and respect for the 50 Israeli army reserve officers and soldiers who have announced that they 'will no longer take part in the war for the ... purpose of occupying, deporting, destroying, blockading, killing, starving and humiliating an entire people,' namely the Palestinians; and thanks them for rescuing their country's good name from a government whose oppressive policies are immoral in themselves and, moreover, have failed to prevent an increasing toll of killed and injured innocent Israeli civilians, victims of terrorist attacks which Ariel Sharon calls on the beleaguered Yasser Arafat to prevent but which Sharon with his vastly stronger armed forces, police and intelligence services, is himself unable to prevent.

That this House expresses its disappointment that Cardinal Jozef Glemp did not attend the ceremony at which the President of Poland, Aleksander Kwasniewski, apologised for the killing by Poles of the entire Jewish population, numbering some 1600, of Jedwabne in July 1941; also expresses its contempt for the local priest, Orlowski, who dismissed the apology as 'holocaust business'; and strongly hopes that the stand taken by the Polish President will help Poland finally to rid itself of its anti-semitic obsessions and prejudices which made it that much easier for the Nazis to carry out their own atrocities involving the murder of millions.
