That this House deplores the persistent and studied insults to the Irish people which were an objectionable feature of the contributions of the honourable Members for Penrith and the Border, Bromley and Chislehurst, and Spelthorne to the debate on the Representation of the People Bill on 19th January; notes in particular the reference of the Right honourable Member for Bromley and Chislehurst to aliens coming from a strange foreign country, such as the Republic of Ireland; believes that there is no place for such inflammatory prejudice in the House's debates and that their behaviour discredits both the Members concerned and the Conservative Party; calls on them to apologise for the gratuitous offence which they have caused; and reaffirms its respect and friendship for a community which has contributed so much to the UK's cultural and economic life and which continues to do so.

That this House condemns the obstructive actions of the Right honourable Member for Bromley and Chislehurst in preventing progress on the Energy Efficiency Bill and the Private Hire Vehicles (London) Bill; notes that since this act of parliamentary objection, the industry representatives of both industries affected, namely the Council of Mortgage Lenders and the London Private Hire Car Association, have written to the Right honourable Member asking him to allow the bills affecting their industry to become law; notes that the Council of Mortgage Lenders has told the Right honourable Member that the Energy Efficiency Bill is sensible way forward and should have made progress; further notes that the London Private Hire Car Association have told him that the Private Hire Vehicles (London) Bill should become law in the interests of the safety of the people of London; and therefore believes that the Conservative Party's claims to be a supporter of industry will be severely damaged if the Right honourable Member for Bromley and Chislehurst continues to ignore the advice of these bodies and blocks these bills again when they return to the House on 3rd July.

That this House notes that the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, the honourable Member for Mid-Worcestershire, accused Hammersmith and Fulham Education Department of producing 'disgraceful material' on grant maintained status for schools, Official Report, 10th November 1992, column 835, was then unable to substantiate that accusation and was asked to apologise on 17th November and has consistently failed to answer letters promptly or to apologise; notes that children cannot be expected to learn politeness and efficiency if the Parliamentary Under Secretary sets such a bad example; and therefore calls upon him to apologise to parents, teachers, children and the local education authority for his needlessly offensive comments or to resign if he is incapable of acting like a mature and responsible adult.

That this House calls upon the honourable Member for Mid-Worcestershire, the Parliamentary Under Secretary at the Department for Education, not to attend the proposed meeting in Kidderminster Town Hall on 27th November called by the honourable Member for Wyre Forest to discuss ways in which various schools in Hereford and Worcester can best opt out of the local education service on the ground that the decisions of governors and parents will in due course come to his Department for a final decision; and believes it demeans the standards of conduct in public life if ministers are seen to be acting as judge, jury and prosecutor.
