That this House calls on the Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary to immediately demand a full and detailed investigation by the judicial and criminal authorities in France into their handling of the appalling circumstances and the litany of mistakes which they have made following the tragic death of Christopher Traynor from Liverpool in January 2000; notes that Mr Traynor's death has never been fully explained and that the Government persuaded the French authorities to re-open the case after a vital and key witness, Alain Nesmon, claimed in a television interview that Mr Traynor had been 'murdered`; further notes with sadness and dismay that Mr Nesmon was subject to a short and cursory interview by detectives who showed no curiosity or investigative skills when he changed key elements of his story to protect either himself or others; and further notes that Mr Nesmon died in June 2011 leaving the family of Mr Traynor and this House concerned and puzzled as to why no serious attempt seems to have been made to finally investigate how the death of Mr Traynor occurred in Paris in 2000 and whether or not he died of natural causes or at the hands of others.

That this House congratulates the Liverpool Rolls-Royce workers and their trade union Unite for their efforts to produce a plan aimed at reducing the cost gap between remaining in Netherton and relocating to the US; notes that it is of great importance to the North West economy to retain 212 highly skilled, high-tech jobs in the area together with the training of apprentices; further notes that Rolls-Royce has been given heavy support and subsidy by successive UK Governments over four decades and has also been the recipient of large numbers of Government contracts; and calls on the North West Regional Development Agency and Government to provide whatever support is necessary to persuade Rolls-Royce to remain at the Netherton factory.

That this House notes the Report of the Joint Committee on the Draft Mental Incapacity Bill; regrets its inadequacies but appreciates the Committee's complaints regarding the lack of time allowed them to complete the Report (Conclusion 1); notes the Committee's claim that the Mental Incapacity Bill is not a euthanasia bill despite the fact that it endorses the withdrawal of assisted food and fluid from non-dying patients with the inevitable result of ending their lives by dehydration and starvation; reminds the House of a number of case law judgments which decree that persons who purposefully cause death by omission are guilty of homicide; further notes the Committee' recommendation that an extra assurance should be written into the Bill to assuage any fears about euthanasia; stresses, however, that changing the name on a package does not change the contents; notes with repugnance the Committee's recommendation that mentally incapacitated patients could be used for research; notes that this breaches the basic human right that an individual unable to consent to treatment for himself/herself should never be used for invasive research unless the work could have potential benefit for that individual; and calls on the Government to ensure that the Mental Incapacity Bill protects mentally incapacitated patients from being used for experiments and from having assisted food and fluid withdrawn with the purpose of ending their lives.

That this House notes with concern that the British Medical Association report on Withholding and Withdrawing Life-Prolonging Medical Treatment makes no distinction between the effect of withdrawing life-support, such as ventilation, and withdrawal of food and fluid by tube from a patient who is not dying, and that the report fails to recognise that the former action will result in a patient dying from his or her pre-existing condition whereas the latter will result in the patient dying from dehydration and starvation caused directly by the doctor, nurse or other health-care worker removing the patient's feeding tube; further notes with alarm that these guidelines are intended to be followed in a much wider range of cases and conditions than Persistent Vegetative State, relying upon the advice of one independent doctor alone without the current requirement to make an application to the courts; notes that, following the decision in the House of Lords in the case of Airedale NHS Trust v Bland, which currently applies only to PVS patients, this could result in doctors and nurses being obliged to kill their patients by dehydration if the guidlines were ever to become accepted in practice; and calls on the Secretary of State immediately to circulate all hospitals and health-care workers to emphasise that the guidelines do not represent legal guidelines and should not be adopted.

That this House notes that it is 30 years since the Abortion Act took effect on 27th April 1968; expresses concern about the continuing difficulties some women face in obtaining compassionate, prompt abortion services; further notes that women are often delayed or refused help by their general practitioners or hospital doctors; recognises that in England and Wales only 72 per cent of abortions for resident women are provided by the NHS and that in certain areas this figure falls to below 50 per cent compared with 99 per cent in the whole of Scotland; believes that inequalities in access to abortion within the NHS are unacceptable; and agrees with the recommendations of the Voice of Choice campaign that doctors with an ethical objection to abortion should be obliged to declare it and that abortion should be available on the request of the woman in the first 14 weeks of pregnancy throughout the UK.

That this House notes that the work of behavioural scientists, W. Stephen Evans of Keele University and R. Parncutt of Bath University, presented at the 1998 Annual Conference of the British Psychological Society, indicates that the beginning of both hearing and remembering begins before the 20th week of pregnancy; notes that this suggests that both hearing and learning may stem from the thalamus, the lower part of the brain, and not, as generally accepted, solely from the cortex which does not develop until late in pregnancy, after the 24th week; notes that their studies could be of significance in developing treatment and care of premature infants; further notes that the work may also help in research into the causes and possible treatment of psychological problems in children, including those suffering from dyslexia; notes that Evans and Parncutt are now involved in an extended study of three years which may develop further our understanding of foetal learning from as early as 16 weeks and the possible effects of trauma on post-natal development; and calls on the Government to sponsor further work of this nature and back-up studies in the development of preventive care to minimise possible damage caused by trauma in the womb as well as treatment and healthcare for children with special needs.

That this House understands concern and non-violent protest about the inhumane treatment of sentient creatures, including the export of veal calves; notes that consistent scientific research since that of I. D. Hogg in 1941 clearly shows that the human fetus reacts to painful stimuli from five to six weeks gestation when touched around the mouth and that this extends to an almost complete range of cutaneous responses at 12 weeks; notes that the perception of pain is principally within those parts of the thalamus which develop between nine and 12 weeks gestation; further notes that the cortex which develops after the thalamus influences pain perception by reducing its intensity; thus notes that in these early stages of development the fetus could be subjected to an intensity of pain greater than that experienced by born humans; recalls that Professor Sir William Liley, renowned internationally as the father of fetal medicine, comparing attitudes towards animals and the human fetus, recorded his unhappiness that we withhold from the human fetus a charitable consideration we extend to animals; and calls for changes to the Abortion Act to give protection to the human fetus who has less legal protection than laboratory animals and less charitable consideration from the 'politically correct' than they extend to livestock.

That this House, in the light of fresh evidence available and bearing in mind recent proven miscarriages of justice, requests the Home Secretary to immediately re-examine the case of Mr Frank Johnson, presently in the 20th year of his prison sentence in Swayleside prison, Mr Johnson having maintained his innocence throughout the course of his long incarceration thus preventing any possibility of parole; further supports the growing tide of professional, legal and lay opinion in the United Kingdom and abroad to the effect that the possibility of a miscarriage of justice clearly exists; and calls on the Home Secretary urgently to investigate the matter.

That this House calls on the Government to block the bid to operate the Government Telecommunications Network by the American company Sprint at least until such time as Sprint has demonstrated that it has satisfactorily resolved charges raised in lawsuits that it violated US securities laws, committed fraud and violated pyramid sales laws, that the special committee of outside directors established in 1991 has reported on its review of the company's ethical policies and guideline, and that it has adopted policies which allow their employees to freely choose union representation without fear or intimidation in the workplace.
