That this House congratulates the CRC on designating January 2001 Lung Cancer Awareness Month; notes that this disease claims around 33,4000 lives in the UK, more than any other disease except heart disease; notes a recent Mori poll which reports that 70 per cent. of UK citizens believe that smokers bring the disease upon themselves; and calls upon the Government, healthcare workers, and the general public not to discriminate against smokers, which is inhibiting the victims from seeking diagnosis and treatment and undermining efforts to tackle and defeat lung cancer.

That this House welcomes the news that seven out of 10 children are now successfully treated for cancer and wholeheartedly supports the creation of an annual children's cancer awareness month by The Cancer Research Campaign, the first of which is December 2000, to raise awareness of, and money for, cancers that affect children such as leukaemia, brain and spinal tumours, lymphomas, sarcomas and kidney tumours; calls upon honourable Members to lend their support and presence to various activities planned by the Cancer Research Campaign throughout December; and hopes that the month will achieve its key objectives of raising awareness of children's cancer not just among honourable Members and the medical profession, but also the wider general public.

That this House congratulates the Imperial Cancer Research Fund, Cancer Research Campaign and the Ludwig Institute for backing the development of a vaccine against the human papilloma virus to protect women against cervical cancer that affects 4,000 women and causes 1,600 deaths every year; supports the clinical trials in Manchester and thanks the 30 volunteers and scientists involved in the trials; and hopes that a vaccine will be available to women within the next 10 years.

That this House warmly congratulates scientists at the Cancer Research Campaign on their pioneering research and development of a new test for cervical cancer; believes the new test could end the high error rate of current tests and offer a safer future for women's health; welcomes the positive response of the Secretary of State for Health; urges all concerned to progress the new methodology; and wishes the Cancer Research Campaign well in their efforts to extend the new technique to developing tests for other cancers.

That this House notes with concern that cancer is now the number one killer disease in the UK and that bowel cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death after lung cancer with some 18,000 deaths caused by it each year, that while it is rare in those aged under 40 years, age-specific rates rise continuously and steeply after the age of 50, that research indicates that while it is likely that genetic factors are involved in the development of bowel cancer the majority of cases occur sporadically and that lifestyle factors are likely to be highly significant, and that leading international experts agree that a diet rich in cereal fibre is protective against bowel cancer; congratulates the Cancer Research Campaign and Kellogg's on the joint initiative to raise awareness of the incidence of bowel cancer in this country and highlight the role a fibre-rich diet can play in helping to protect individuals simply and cost-effectively against this disease; and believing that prevention is better than cure, urges the Government to support this initiative and make the reduction of bowel cancer a priority.

That this House accepts that the threat to the Bristol Cancer Help Centre which only has funds until September and requires ??325,000 per annum to survive is directly attributable to the publication of the report on breast cancer patients commissioned and funded by the Imperial Cancer Research Fund and the Cancer Research Campaign, and in spite of warnings that the research was flawed; notes that the Charity Commission upheld complaints from the Bristol Survey Support Group that supervision of the study was inadequate and the information was badly handled, and also recommended guidelines on the responsibilities of charities funding medical research; deplores the fact that these research bodies should act in such a negligent manner; calls upon them to apologise to the women used as pawns in the research and to pay compensation both to the women for emotional distress, and to the Centre in line with the estimated ??1 million that adverse publicity has cost it in lost donations over five years; demands that the report be officially withdrawn; calls for the establishment of an equivalent body to the GMC to govern the field of misconduct in scientific research; and urges the Government to provide match funding in order to fully develop the BCHC's model into an invaluable subject of research and to foster its integration into maintstream health care.

That this House refutes the claim of the Cancer Research Campaign's recent report on the relationship between advertising and smoking by children; notes that in both New Zealand and Canada powerful economic factors, such as tobacco tax increases and economic recession are the decisive factors in reducing cigarette consumption in recent months; notes further that a decline in cigarette consumption was already underway in both countries several years before legislation banning tobacco advertising was imposed; draws attention to a recent Superior Court judgement in Canada, which overturned the Government's ban on tobacco advertising, concluding that it has not been established that prohibition of advertising has the effect of reducing consumption; points out that in Norway overall manufactured cigarette consumption has increased by nearly 60 per cent. since 1975, when tobacco advertising was banned, whereas in the United Kingdom, where advertising was permitted, consumption has declined by 19.8 per cent. in the last decade; concludes that while consumption levels may change, tobacco advertising does not influence those levels; and so urges the United Kingdom Government to continue its consistent adherence to a Voluntary Code of Practice.
