That this House welcomes the recent re-statement of a truth known for millennia, that men and women are different; celebrates those differences, in personality and in brain structure producing for example generally superior language skills for women and the comparative strengths of men in spatial percention; regrets the attempts of those who seek to blur the differences as damaging to women in the long-term; reaffirms the vital importance of the traditional family in socialising young males in particular; and has no problem in describing women as the gentler sex.

That this House recognises that all of its honourable Members are good Europeans in the sense that they were all born in Europe, brought up in a Western European tradition which is multi-faceted and in which each nation has incorporated some of its fellow European nations' religious, philosophical and cultural attributes; notes that there would be no such thing as a Western European culture if Greek philosophers, German composers, French writers or Italian artists had not contributed to this inheritance and that the British people owe as much to Rousseau and Wittgenstein as they do to Adam Smith and John Lock; recognises that with the exception of the Roman Empire, attempts to control Europe on a pan-European scale have usually ended in misery for the constituent peoples and asserts that good Europeans should continue to build ever closer cultural, mutual defence and trading links within Europe while resisting attempts to build a supra-national government; and urges Her Majesty's Government to continue Britain's centuries-old tradition of pragmatic questioning of the schemes, no matter how noble sounding, of the political elites of Europe in order to assist in the building of a Europe which is outward-looking and at ease with itself.

That this House respects the independent establishment-challenging spirit of new age travellers so much that it does not wish that spirit to be tarnished with anything that could be construed as a squalid dependency on the State; and therefore recommends withdrawal of social security benefits from new age travellers.

That this House notes with sadness that for the first time in its history the TUC is led by a General Secretary who through his advocacy of early entry into EMU is prepared to connive at an increase in unemployment, particularly in the manufacturing and traded goods sectors; regrets that the General Secretary is prepared to serve the interests of a European political elite at the expense of British and European trades unionists and other workers; and calls on the TUC to sack the General Secretary for his betrayal of his members' interests and lack of intellectual rigour in examining the pros and cons of EMU.

That this House agrees with the Archdeacon of York that 'Poltical correctness is verbal fascism and when it is applied to matters religious it is as much destructive of the values and ideas of the faith as it is of the sensitivities of the believer'; regrets that feminists have never understood that 'Man' comes directly from the Latin 'manus', meaning hand, indicating that man is the only species that can manipulate or manufacture, and that Man means in effect an animal that can use its hands and has nothing whatsoever to do with the contemporary and contrived politics of gender.

That this House notes with sadness the failure of the Church of England in Birmingham to attract more than two per cent. of the city's population to its churches on a Sunday and that the management of the Birmingham Diocese has failed to reverse the decline of the church in Birmingham inner city; regrets that the church has been marginalised at a time when its influence in spiritual and moral matters is sorely needed; and concludes that the Bishop of Birmingham's authority to speak out on public issues would be greatly enhanced if, instead of supervising decline, he was able to demonstrate that by saving more souls and filling more churches he had restored the Anglican Church in Birmingham to its rightful place as a leading influence in the day-to-day lives of the citizens of Birmingham.
