EDM number 368A1 in 1994-95, proposed by Simon Hughes on 12/01/1995.

leave out from 'decisions'to end and add 'do not propose the decriminalisation of cannabis but support the setting up of a Royal Commission to investigate and consider strategies for combating drug misuse; endorses the current professional view, agreed among others by the British Medical Association, that those under 16 years should be entitled to seek confidential, professional contraceptive advice, while believing that to inform parents of any prescriptions for contraception to their children is clearly normally preferable if the young person will agree; recognises the inevitable existence of brothels and prostitution and therefore believes that prostitutes should be within rather than outside the protection of the law; agrees with the view of Liberal Democrat honourable Members that legislation on abortion should remain to be decided without a party line; and further notes that, unlike Liberal Democrats, it is the Conservatives' regular refusals to debate difficult and controversial issues at their party conferences which contribute to the undermining of democracy and of confidence in the Government and do nothing to promote good education and standards of decency and responsibilty.'.

This is a ammendment to 368.

This motion has been signed by a total of 10 MPs.
