That this House expresses its serious concern at the lack of progress Sri Lanka has made in implementing its commitments in the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) resolutions 30/1 and 34/1, to address the legacy of the country's armed conflict and to promote reconciliation, accountability and human rights; notes with dismay that key transitional justice mechanisms like the Office for Reparations, the Commission for Truth, Justice and Reconciliation and a hybrid court, with international judges and prosecutors to investigate allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity, have not been established, let alone operationalised; further notes with concern the ongoing human rights abuses, including those perpetrated against Tamils; is alarmed by the appointment of Major General Shavendra Silva, accused of committing atrocities at the end of the armed conflict in 2009, as the Army's new Chief of Staff, and what this promotion says about the Government's willingness to address human rights violations; notes the UNHRC will debate what progress Sri Lanka has made to deliver its Council commitments at its 40th session in March 2019; calls on UNHRC member states, including the UK Government, to apply an explicit timeframe on Sri Lanka to implement its promises, and ensure war crimes investigations take place; and calls on the UNHRC to ensure Sri Lanka remains high on its agenda, and to extend the monitoring mandate of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, until the Council's resolutions have been implemented fully and the foundations have been laid for a sustainable peace in Sri Lanka.

That this House notes with concern the recent High Court judgment against the Government which found that the Home Office 's redefinition of torture in its flagship Adults at Risk immigration detention policy was unlawful; further notes that Mr Justice Ouseley ruled that the Home Office's decision to narrow the definition of torture lacked a rational or evidence base; understands that many victims of torture and other vulnerable people are held in UK immigration detention centres; recognises that legal judgments and medical research have provided extensive evidence that immigration detention can seriously harm the mental health of detainees, particularly those who have suffered previously from ill treatment; calls on the Home Office to ensure its review of the Adults at Risk policy includes consultation with NGO stakeholders; and urges the Government to honour the promises made after the Shaw Report to strengthen and improve the protections for identifying and securing the release of vulnerable adults at risk of harm in immigration detention, as well as requiring that those with evidence of a history of torture or severe physical, psychological or sexual violence or other ill treatment are not detained for immigration purposes except in very exceptional circumstances.

That this House is gravely concerned by the arrest and imprisonment of Members of Parliament from the pro-Kurdish People's Democratic Party (HDP), including the HDP Co-Chairs Selahattin Demirtas and Figen Yüksekdag, in Turkey on 4 November 2016; agrees with the statement from the High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs, Federica Mogherini, that these arrests compromise parliamentary democracy in Turkey; notes that hundreds of other Kurdish members and officials from HDP and the pro-Kurdish Democratic Regions Party (DBP) have also been detained and imprisoned in recent months; further notes that since the attempted coup in Turkey in July 2016, President Erdogan and the Turkish government have imposed greater restrictions on the freedom of expression and the freedom of the press, as well as threatened the independence of the judiciary; believes that the current situation in Turkey is undermining democracy and the chances of resolving the Kurdish issue; urges the Turkish authorities to respect the rule of law and the fundamental rights of all of its citizens, including Kurds, Alevis and other minority groups; and calls on the Government and the Council of Europe to make representations to the Turkish government expressing serious concern at the imprisonment of the HDP MPs, the suspension of provisions within the European Convention on Human Rights and President Erdogan's support for the reintroduction of the death penalty.

That this House is appalled that passengers using First Capital Connect train services who have recently had to endure above inflation fare hikes in January are now faced with cuts to ticket office opening hours which will see offices open for around 800 fewer hours a week than at present; believes that replacing staff with ticket machines will make passengers feel less safe at stations and reduce the quality and range of services available; and therefore calls on First Capital Connect to withdraw its proposals.

That this House notes that Labour's Election Manifesto promised to cut NHS costs by removing the bureaucratic processes of the internal market, with the savings going on direct care for patients; further notes that the manifesto also promised to end waiting for cancer surgery, thereby helping thousands of women waiting for breast cancer treatment; is delighted that the Government has already begun to honour this manifesto promise by deferring the eighth wave of fundholding general practitioners with ??10 million of money saved now being used to speed up access to breast cancer diagnosis and to reduce waiting times for treatment; believes that women all over the country who will benefit from the Government's actions will be delighted that within weeks of taking office, the Labour Government has kept its promise to divert funds into diagnosing and treating breast cancer; and further believesthat spending money on speeding up diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer in women is a far better use of resources than the previous Goverment's priority of pouring it down the black hole of bureaucracy associated with the Tory internal market.
