That this House notes with deep concern the growing impact of fireworks misuse on communities across the UK; recognises that the unpredictable use of high-decibel fireworks causes significant distress to animals, wildlife, and those with sensory sensitivities or neurodiverse conditions; further notes that local councils and police forces lack sufficient powers and resources to manage the increasing volume of complaints from residents; highlights that current firework legislation, much of it dating back to the early 2000s, has failed to keep pace with modern technology and changing patterns of use; acknowledges the calls of animal welfare charities including the RSPCA and Dogs Trust for a reduction in permitted decibel levels, stronger licensing of retailers, and a crackdown on unlicensed pop-up sellers during festive periods such as Bonfire Night; welcomes public campaigns that have highlighted widespread public frustration; and therefore urges the Government to bring forward comprehensive reform of firework regulation to ensure fireworks are used safely, sold responsibly, and enjoyed without causing harm to people, animals, and communities.

That this House condemns the closure of Al-Aqsa Sanctuary in Jerusalem by Israeli authorities during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan; notes that this action infringes Palestinians’ right to freedom of worship, violates Israel’s obligations under international humanitarian law and UN resolutions, and breaches the longstanding status quo governing the site; and calls on the Government to raise this issue urgently with Israel and in international forums, to press for the site’s immediate reopening, failing which the Government brings forward appropriate measures, including an immediate suspension of all UK arms exports to Israel, the imposition of widespread and targeted sanctions against those responsible for serious violations of international law, and a complete prohibition on trade with illegal Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, in order to uphold international law, protect Palestinian rights, and safeguard the sanctity of Jerusalem’s holy sites.

That this House expresses its concern regarding the changes to entry requirements for British dual nationals due to come into force on 25 February 2026; notes that these changes will require British dual nationals to present either a valid British passport or a certificate of entitlement in order to return to the United Kingdom; recognises that many dual nationals have historically travelled on their non-UK passport without issue and that awareness of the new requirements appears limited; further notes constituents have only become aware of the changes shortly before travel or after leaving the country, risking denial of boarding and disruption to employment, housing and family life; highlights the significant financial burden posed by documentation costs, particularly the £589 fee for a certificate of entitlement, alongside passport application and expedited service fees, during an ongoing cost-of-living crisis; expresses concern that British citizens who have lived, worked and paid taxes in the UK for decades may face avoidable hardship as a result of inadequate communication and compressed implementation; and calls on the Government to pause implementation to allow for meaningful consultation and parliamentary scrutiny, substantially strengthen and extend public communications, and remove the associated fees, particularly the cost of the certificate of entitlement, in order to prevent widespread confusion, financial hardship and unnecessary distress.

That this House expresses its alarm at evidence showing Israel used cluster munitions in its 2023 onwards invasion and bombings of Lebanon, which has killed more than 4,000 people in total; highlights that under the Convention on Cluster Munitions, an international treaty signed by Britain and more than 100 other states, the use, production, transfer and stockpiling of cluster munitions is prohibited; notes evidence showing Israel’s largest arms company Elbit Systems was one of the manufacturers of the cluster munitions used in Israel’s recent assault on Lebanon; further notes Elbit Systems is deeply implicated in Israel’s grave violations of international law, including its genocide in Gaza; further expresses alarm that the Government allows Elbit Systems to operate factories in Britain and has awarded the company lucrative military contracts; also expresses alarm that British bank Barclays continues to invest in Elbit Systems, despite having a policy to end financial ties with companies that trade in or manufacture cluster munitions; urges therefore Barclays bank to end all financial ties with Elbit Systems; calls for the Government to implement measures to prevent companies in Britain from aiding international law violations; and further calls on the Government, in light of this new evidence, in addition to Elbit Systems’ role in Israel’s grave violations of international law against Palestinians, to end all arms sales to Israel, cancel all contracts with Elbit Systems, commit to not entering into any future contracts with Elbit Systems, and to close down all of Elbit Systems’ factories in Britain.

That this House commemorates Kashmir Black Day on 27 October, observed annually by Kashmiris across the world as a day of solidarity and reflection on the loss of autonomy following the events of 1947; recognises that for millions of Kashmiris, this day symbolises the beginning of a continuing struggle for the right to self‑determination, as enshrined in successive United Nations Security Council resolutions; notes the decades of persecution, injustice, oppression and human rights violations faced by the Kashmiri people at the hands of the Indian Armed Forces, including through the continued use of the Public Safety Act and Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, which enables arbitrary detention and excessive force without accountability; further notes the ongoing detention of political leaders and civil society voices, many of whom remain imprisoned without charge or access to a fair trial; further notes that successive UK governments have failed to give the Kashmir issue the diligence, urgency and international attention it deserves, allowing the crisis to deepen; affirms that lasting peace in the region cannot be achieved without dialogue that includes the voices and aspirations of the Kashmiri people themselves; further believes that the international community must recognise the situation in Kashmir as an international issue requiring coordinated international engagement, rather than a matter to be settled through bilateral dialogue; and calls on the UK Government to recognise its moral, historic and legal duty to help resolve this long‑standing issue and ensure the birth right of self‑determination for the people of Kashmir.

That this House welcomes the National Literacy Trust and Penguin Random House’s Libraries for Primaries campaign; is concerned that research shows that one in seven state primary schools in the UK do not have a library or dedicated library space; understands that children in disadvantaged areas are disproportionately affected by this; urges the Government to add data collection on libraries in schools to the school census; congratulates the campaign for transforming over 1,000 school libraries and training over 2,500 teachers and support staff so far; notes that the UK needs to go further, as there is currently no statutory requirement for schools to have a library despite the positive effects the statutory requirement to have libraries in prisons has had in that space; is further alarmed by the results of the National Literacy Trust’s Annual Reading Survey which shows that two thirds of children and young people do not read for pleasure; recognises the personal benefits reading for pleasure brings to children and their development including higher attainment, increased opportunities and better wellbeing; highlights research by British Land with the National Literacy Trust which shows that reading for pleasure can result in more children getting five good GCSEs, which in turn would boost their lifetime earnings and raise the UK’s GDP to deliver economic growth; and believes all schools in the country should have a library or dedicated library space, particularly in the context of the current reading for enjoyment crisis.
