That this House notes with great concern the Government's unwillingness to stand up and defend British interests and its eagerness to capitulate to yet more nonsense from Brussels by accepting the decision of the European Union that the name of soya milk should be banned in the UK because it is not milk; further notes that this decision if unchallenged will cost the UK soya milk industry millions of pounds to change their packaging and marketing for no good reason except for the sake of European uniformity and that the decision makes a nonsense of the principal of subsidiarity; and accordingly urges Her Majesty's Government to stand up for Britain's interests by demanding that the rationale for the decision be published in full and by making immediate arrangements to challenge the decision of the European Union in the European Union in the European Court of Justice.

That this House notes with concern that, with United Kingdom beer excise duty rates currently around seven times higher than in France, cheap imports of beer continue to flood into Britain at the rate of 1.1 million pints a day and that one-third of this amount is destined for illegal re-sale; believes that the maintenance of a high rate of United Kingdom beer excise duty represents a direct incentive to smugglin and crime, harms British pubs, clubs and off-licences, exports jobs and profit and investment to the Continent, severely distorts competition in the Single Market in favour of Continental producers and retailers and damages an industry which generates 900,000 jobs; believes it is unrealistic to expect other European governments to increase their duty rates significantly in order to solve a British problem; and urges the Chancellor to take serious note of the report of the Parliamentary Beer Club 'Beer Tax Inquiry' and to announce an immediate reduction in beer duty rates in his forthcoming Budget and to set a strategy for phased reductions to the median European level, in order to remove the economic incentive for large scale personal importation and smuggling, to safeguard the traditional British pub and British jobs and to promote fair competition in Europe.

That this House calls upon the Secretary of State for Transport, when conducting his review of the existing regulations covering night flights at Heathrow, to take into account that the number of daytime flights that burden the communities around Heathrow has now reached more than 1,100 per day, which exceeds by almost 50 per cent. the number agreed by the Government as a condition for the construction of Terminal Four; notes that evidence given by Richmond Council to the recent judicial review showed that over the last five years there had been a 59 per cent. increase in flight numbers between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., that the number of complaints about early morning flights at Heathrow during the last quarter of 1994 was more than double the number of complaints in any other category and that the present annual quota of 5,800 flights between 11.30 p.m. nd 6.00 a.m. represents fewer than 16 flights per night, or less than 1.5 per cent. of the total; in the light of these facts resolves that it is against nature, reason and justice that the communities which suffer throughout the day should also be deprived of sleep at night, simply to allow a quota of 16 flights; and accordingly calls upon the Secretary of State to introduce a total night curfew from 23.30 hours to 06.00 hours for all Heathrow flights, except genuine emergencies for reasons of safety.

That this House calls the attention of Her Majesty's Government to the fact that British beer drinkers pay seven times more duty on their pint than their French counterparts; notes that as a result increasing amounts of duty paid beer imports from France are creating a serious and growing threat to the jobs of 500,000 British workers employed directly or indirectly in the brewing industry and to 100,000 small businesses; notes, moreover, that for the first time in the history of the brewing industry, there is widespread black marketeering in exported British beers being purchased on the Continent and smuggled back into this country for sale; and accordingly urges Her Majesty's Government to take immediate steps to reduce beer duty to the European average to protect British jobs, promote further inward investment into Britain by European beer manufacturers, maintain the Government's commitment to law and order and achieve harmony and fair competition in the European Market.

That this House is greatly shocked and horrified at the news of the assassination of President Ranasinghe Premadasa, who was a distinguished parliamentarian and a hard working and progressive leader; is gravely concerned at the possible threat posed to the old and established democracy of Sri Lanka; urges and hopes that the terrorists will never be allowed to undermine its democractic freedom and economic development; and offers its wholehearted support to the citizens of Sri Lanka whose strength, friendliness and toleration will surely continue to keep democracy flourishing.
