That this House regrets the failure of the Prime Minister to withdraw his claim that every aspect of a press release on the Prime Minister's record issued by the honourable Member for Holborn and St. Pancras was a falsehood; and notes that despite being given the opportunity to do so he has failed to identify a single inaccuracy, still less a falsehood, in the press release in question.

That this House expresses its continued grave concern at the over-exploitation of, as well as the environmental and social devastation and illegal activities associated with the trade in, Brazilian mahogany, botanical name Swietenia macrophylla, and the consequential threat to the long-term surviva l of the rain forest and the indigenous peoples in Brazil; notes the the United Kingdom is the world's second largest importer of Brazilian mahogany and is, therefore, a contributor to this problem; further notes that in 1994 the British Government supported the listing of Brazilian mahogany under Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, CITES, but that this proposal was not successful; and consequently calls upon Her Majesty's Government to support the listing for Brazilian mahogany in Annex C2 of the European Union CITES Regulation No. 3626/82 and to introduce a zero quota of imports from Brazil.

That this House notes the signature of Her Majesty's Government in support of the aims of the 1990 UN World Summit for Children which include control of the major childhood diseases, a halving of child malnutrition, a halving of maternal mortality rates, safer water and sanitation for all, universally available family planning services, and a basic education for every child; further notes the 1993 State of the World's Children Report from UNICEF which states that 250,000 children still die as a result of malnutrition every week and that a significant part of the cost of meeting the goals of the Summit could be found within existing aid budgets if there were to be a shift in spending towards low cost services for the many such as food, water, sanitation, basic health care, primary education and family planning, away from high cost services for the few; and therefore urges Her Majesty's Government to take positive action in the light of the UNICEF report and reduce child mortality by at least doubling the current low proportion of its aid budget spent on human priorities.
