That this House calls on the Secretary of State for Wales to sack the Chairman of South Glamorgan Health Authority, Ian Grist, and its General Manager, Gordon Harrhy, for their abuse of their public office in their attempt to stitch up Ian Mackie, consultant orthopaedic surgeon at the Treatment Centre at the Prince of Wales Orthopaedic Hospital, Rhydlafor, Cardiff, because he spoke out against the use of the untried and untested Zimmer replacement hip joint, by suspending him on full pay since last June and then dropping the charges against Mr Mackie on the first day of the disciplinary inquiry; believes that if the Chairman and the General Manager thought the charges were serious enough to suspend Mr Mackie, they were serious enough to be heard in full, and if they were not serious enough to be put to the test, they were too trivial to justify suspending Mr Mackie for seven months; disapproves strongly of the gagging clause signed by both sides, preventing public representatives from discovering the full truth; but believes that the collapse of the case against Ian Mackie has also caused the collapse of the public reputations of the Chairman and the General Manager, whose time is clearly now up.

That this House congratulates Councillor Jon Owen Jones, the Labour Vice Chairman of Finance on Cardiff City Council, for identifying the plight of war pensioners whose reward for being entitled to a war pension is to lose their entitlement to full poll tax rebate and to the members of the city council of all parties who supported his proposal that all war pensioners be allowed the maximum 80 per cent. relief; and contrasts his constructive approach to that of the honourable Member for Cardiff Central who condemned the poll tax as a back-bencher, yet as a Minister supports the poll tax, against the interests of his own constituents.

That this House admires the work which the honourable Member for Cardiff Central has done for the people of Wales as Parliamentary Secretary at the Welsh Office; notes the readiness with which he apologised for an injudicious comment during Welsh Questions on 30th April; and deplores any attempt to make party political capital out of the tragedy which has afflicted the flood victims in North Wales.

That this House deplores the description by the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, the honourable Member for Cardiff Central, of the victims of the Towyn Floods as bleeding hearts; has great sympathy for those elderly people who, on paying off their mortgages, inadvertently neglected to take out house insurance which they had previously paid together with their mortgage repayments; believes that such remarks are typical of the unfeeling attitude of the present day Tory Party; and calls upon the Prime Minister to disown the remarks and provide genuine and comprehensive help for all those in distress as a result of the Towyn disaster,

That this House notes that the Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Wales, when he was on the Government back benches, attacked the poll tax as being regressive, that in a debate on Welsh local government finance on 29th January 1986 he asked the then Secretary of State for Wales, Official Report, column 968, 'Does my Right honourable Friend accept that while the present system may be seen as unfair, it represents a crude wealth tax, whereas a poll tax is regressive by its nature'; and further notes that the Parliamentary Under-Secretary's views, as expressed in 1896, reflect those of the majority of Welsh people.
