That this House is dismayed at the BBC's production of the genocide denial programme entitled, This World - Rwanda's untold story; recognises the central place the programme now occupies in the activities of genocide denialists; urges the BBC to conduct an immediate inquiry into the editorial and managerial decisions which led to the airing of the programme on BBC2 on 1 October 2014; further urges the Director General of the BBC, a member of the House of Lords, to act personally and transparently to deal with this matter of profound political significance and social injustice; and commends the campaigning efforts of Professor Linda Melvern et al to this end.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether any UK citizens would involuntarily lose resident citizenship as a result of Scottish independence.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether any UK citizens would involuntarily lose resident citizenship as a result of Scottish independence.
In the event of a vote for independence, decisions about UK citizenship would rest with the UK Government; the basis for entitlement to Scottish citizenship would be for the Government of an independent Scottish state to decide.
The UK has historically been tolerant of plural nationalities, and therefore it is likely that it would be possible for an individual to hold both British and Scottish citizenship. However, under current rules, British citizens living outside the UK cannot pass their British nationality on more than one generation. So, the children of British citizens living in an independent Scotland would be British citizens, but their children and subsequent generations would not be.
The Government of the continuing UK would also need to consider whether all British citizens living in Scotland could retain their British citizenship upon independence. This cannot be guaranteed and could be dependent on any residence requirements or proof of affinity to the continuing UK. It is not possible to predict now what the decision of a future government of the continuing UK might be in this area.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many members of the UK armed forces would lose their jobs as a result of Scottish independence.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many members of the UK armed forces would lose their jobs as a result of Scottish independence.
The UK Government is not planning for Scottish independence and neither is the Ministry of Defence. Existing members of the UK armed forces would still be part of the UK armed forces and, as far as the UK Government is concerned, would be able to continue to serve in them, subject to the usual requirements of service.
That this House notes the opinion of leading world public health experts, including Professor Robert West of University College, London, that e-cigarettes have the potential to save hundreds of millions of lives across the world; believes that, if regulators treat low-risk nicotine products as traditional tobacco products, they are improperly defining them; regrets the decision of the EU to regulate e-cigarettes in strange and contradictory ways and believes that such inappropriate constraints upon the labelling and sale of e-cigarettes will have the perverse effect of reducing the rate at which cigarette use is declining; further notes the potentially enormous health benefits that e-cigarettes could bring to developing nations; accepts the health and economic benefits which e-cigarettes can bring to the least well-off; urges public authorities to regard e-cigarettes as a positive and not as an equivalent to cigarettes; and further urges the Government to impress upon the World Heath Organisation that encouraging, rather than discouraging, e-cigarette manufacture, sale and use will bring great health benefits across the world.

That this House commends The Secret Illness campaign by Cosmopolitan Magazine which highlights the scale of untreated eating disorders in the UK; notes that the NHS's capacity to treat people seriously ill with eating disorders is so restricted that many sufferers and their parents are told to wait until the health of the sufferer has declined dangerously; agrees that no doctor would tell a cancer patient to go away until their illness got worse, yet this is what is happening in thousands of cases; urges people to write to their GP in support of the campaign to request a review of UK eating disorder provision; recognises the great expertise which exists within the UK but warns that such experts often operate within seriously underfunded local mental health services; further commends the work of the eating disorder charity, BEAT; and requests that the Government takes full and appropriate steps to address what is a rapidly growing national health crisis.

We make such representations regularly. At the African Union summit on 25 January I spoke in depth about the crisis in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) with Raymond Tshibanda, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the DRC. I also spoke with the President of the DRC, Joseph Kabila, in November last year in Kinshasa. On both occasions I urged them to seek out solutions which would create long-term peace and prosperity in the region and reiterated Britain's commitment to supporting such sustainable solutions.
