That this House finds it extraordinary that, in her speech in the House of Commons debate on the 50th Anniversary of the National Health Service, The Right honourable Member for Maidstone and the Weald, on behalf of the Tory Party, managed explicitly to congratulate and thank the Tory-led wartime Coalition Government, Winston Churchill, the Tory Governments of the 1950s and 1960s, the last Tory Government, herself and her front-bench team, but did not even once congratulate or thank the National Health Service staff; invites her to apologise and thank the National Health Service staff at her next appearance at the Despatch Box; and congratulates and thanks the one million dedicated staff working in the NHS in its 50th Anniversary year and all the staff who have worked in the National Health Service throughout its 50 year history and made it such a brilliant success.

That this House notes the centenary of the birth of Aneurin Bevan on 15 November 1897; commemorates the life and work of this remarkable Welshman, Labour Member of the House and reforming Cabinet Minister in the post-war Labour Government; and believes that the values on which Bevan campaigned are still valid today and that the National Health Service, which he founded, stands as a lasting and living memorial to the life and work of a very great man.

That this House, mindful of the delicate balance between legal rights and press freedom, supports the views expressed in the Daily Mail editorial of 15th February, that 'this was an extraordinary situation and demanded an extraordinary response. The Lawrence case threatens to damage race relations and the reputation of British Justice'; and believes that following court cases newspapers do have a right to question the outcome and that this is different to prejudicial reporting during a trial.

That this House congratulates the staff, pupils, parents and governors who, with the active support of Hammersmith and Fulham Council, have shown that co-operation, commitment and determination can result in a school being taken out of special measures and given a fresh start; and notes that this school can also serve as a model for schools elsewhere in the country which are experiencing problems.

That this House rejects the offensive comments made in the Evening Standard magazine section of 25th October about the Irish community and Flanagans Bar in referring to the opening of 'Flanagan's, a modern, Irish-themed bar in the Uxbridge Road. W12 has, after all, more Irish boozers than you can shake an Armalite at. Presumably the new genteel, scrubbed-wood Flanagan's is where upwardly mobile bombers can now take the lady wife after a hard day with the Semtex'; and calls upon the Evening Standard to apologise unreservedly, recognising that the vast majority of Irish people do not support the bombers and that this type of thoughtless comment encourages hostility and division between the British and Irish people as well as damaging the reputation of Flanagan's and their customers and takes no account of the determination of the British and Irish people to reject the violence of paramilitary groups in Northern Ireland.

That this House supports the demand by the International Labour Organisation Committee of Experts on Freedom of Association that Britain should ensure the effective protection of workers from any action taken by the employer which would result in penalising workers for attempting to regulate their terms and conditions of employment through collective bargaining; and therefore calls on the Government to amend the law accordingly and for Associated Newspapers and Associated British Ports to abandon discrimination against collective bargaining.

That this House congratulates the people of Northern Ireland for their continuing support of the peace process; believes that both Unionist and Republican paramilitary groups should prepare to dispose of their weapons; but recognises that this issue must not prevent negotiations proceeding.

That this House notes with concern that Social Fund funeral payments are not available if the deceased person has left their body to medical science; considers this to be a penny-pinching response to an altruistic gesture of great value to the rest of the community; notes that Ms Hazel Cameron, a disabled, single parent, had to pay for the return rail fare from London to Glasgow and for the death certificate on her father to make the arrangements for the transfer of his body to a university and eventually to travel back to collect the ashes of the remains from the crematorium; deeply regrets that all the Department of Social Security could offer was a Social Fund loan; and therefore calls on the Government to extend funeral payments to relatives in the position of Ms Cameron.

That this House deplores the attempt to smear the homeless by the Daily Express and notes that one of the people it has chosen to pillory is a 16 year old homeless boy who is epileptic and schizophrenic and who has attempted suicide; notes that the Daily Express says that their investigation of the streets of London shows that this boy is 'not quite as desperate as he might appear'; believes that the last thing an adolescent with these problems needs is a national newspaper making political capital out of his plight; further challenges Sir Nicholas Lloyd, the Editor of the Daily Express, to come out of his plush and cosy office to spend some time sleeping rough so that he can abandon the arrogant and stupid notion that living on the street is better than living in a proper home; and believes that if he cannot find the courage to do this then he should campaign for more affordable rented housing and a benefit system that removes the disgrace of homelessness from our streets.

That this House regrets that the honourable Member for Fulham saw fit to attack his own local authority in such misleading terms during Prime Minister's questions on 21st April; further notes that the policy leading up to the legal action by one bank, and referred to by the honourable Member as fraud, was initiated by the previous Conservative administration Hammersmith and Fulham; congratulates the council for its determined, courageous and successful efforts to root out inefficiency and corruption to the extent that their financial effectiveness was praised by the District Auditor in his last two annual reports; notes that the council's policies on law and order, transport and housing have all been recently commended by visiting Government Ministers; and therefore calls upon the honourable Member to withdraw his comments which are insulting to the area he represents.

That this House notes that the honourable Member for Fulham, the Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Secretary of State for Education, has commented on a leaked document written by the OFSTED Inspector, and has done so in a totally negative and destructive fashion; therefore calls upon the Secretary of State to initiate an inquiry to find out who leaked the report; and further notes that the honourable Member for Fulham has, by his comments, given a strong impression that he knew about or condoned the leaks.

That this House notes that the grant maintained Stratford School and the Battersea Technology College were both severely criticised by the OFSTED Inspector; and notes that the Secretary of State for Education has chosen to ignore those bad reports and has simply concentrated on Hammersmith School in a manner that will undermine morale of both staff and teachers and which ignores the Inspector's recognition of the steps taken to improve the school, not least by the appointment of an acting head who previously worked as an inspector in the Failing Schools Team.

That this House rejects British Rail's plans to route all the nation's Channel Tunnel freight trains on heavily congested lines through London; calls on the Government to support the use of the North Downs Link railway line as a Rail M25 for Channel Tunnel freight trains; believes that the use of the North Downs Link would give freight trains fast and unobstructed access to Britain's industrial heartlands and would be of particular benefit to the West of England and South Wales, providing a direct rail link for passenger and freight trains from mainland Europe to the West of England and South Wales, and calls upon the Government to extend the provisions of the draft noise regulation standards for new railways to protect not only residents living next to new railway lines, but also existing lines which are subject to significant intensification of traffic.

That this House regrets that the honourable Member for Bolton North-East has allowed himself to be used by News International to try and block constructive debate and decision on the Freedom and Responsibility of the Press Bill; notes that, in doing so, he not only colludes with News International in continuing to prevent genuine Press freedom, but also allows the abuse of Press power to continue wrecking the lives of ordinary citizens and denying the public the right to expect accurate news reporting.
