A woman of 52 was charged with attempted murder and remanded to a hospital'; notes that that incident received no mention at all in The Times, The Guardian or The Independent; and contrasts the tiny Press attention given to a brutal attack on Jewish children by an apparently deranged woman with the massive publicity given to the dreadful murder of seven Palestinians recently by an equally deranged Jew.

Meale, Alan 1 Meale, Alan 1990-07-25 Proposed 437 1989-90 1353 That this House is concerned at changes that are taking place within the employment services, particularly the proposal to close jobcentres and merge these facilities with unemployment benefit offices; considers that the results of this will be a poorer service to claimants, the enhancement of the policing powers of the employment service, a loss of jobs in the Civil Service and to push unemployment into the back streets out of the sight of the rest of the public; notes that these changes mirror those taking place to Restart courses which become compulsory in Autumn 1990; believes that the Restart course (Options) will then be used to compel claimants to go on the discredited Employment Training Scheme, Job Club or take low paid employment, and that the Government once again is shown to be more concerned with concealing unemployment than doing anything to combat it; and supports the efforts of the National Unemployed Centres Combine in its campaigns to defend the rights of claimants and for a political commitment to full employment.

It is clear that the balance is very heavily on the side of socialism'; further notes that the letter from the then Chairman of the Conservative Party was dated 9th October 1929 and that following it, Labour won the 1929 general election; and anticipates that history will repeat itself with similar complaints and results at the coming general elections.

Channon, Paul 2 Channon, Paul 1990-07-26 Proposed Taylor, Teddy 1990-07-26 Signed 447 1989-90 1361 That this House registers its concern at proposals made by English Heritage, which will fundamentally alter and perhaps destroy the London Archaeological Service provided by the Museum of London and the Passmore Edwards Museum and which will end the museums' role as advisers to planning authorities by 1991 and remove the establishment grant to the service completely by 1994; recognises that a secure, integrated and locally based service is the only sure way to provide the systematic, long-term archaeological coverage it requires; and calls upon the Government to ensure that English Heritage makes no change to the service until Government and all other relevant bodies have reconsidered these proposals with a view to guaranteeing that all future plans are in the best interests of London's archaeology.

Cryer, Bob 1 Cryer, Bob 1990-07-26 Proposed 449 1989-90 1363 That this House calls on Sainsbury's the grocers to reconsider its decision to build a 79,718 square foot superstore in the Benfield Valley, Hove's last green valley; calls on the honourable Member for Hove to reconsider his attitude to this major development in his constituency, take into account the substantial public opposition to the proposal including that expressed by the Hove Civic Society, the well-supported Leave Our Valley Evergreen (LOVE) and Benfield and Hangleton Valley Emergency (BEHAVE) campaign groups and the Shoreham Port Authority, as well as many local Conservatives, and put the concerns of his constituents and of the environment first, by now stating his opposition to the application; and requests the Secretary of State for the Environment to call in the planning application for determination.

Davis, Terry 1 Davis, Terry 1990-09-06 Proposed 453 1989-90 1367 That this House, whilst totally condemning the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq as a clear act of aggression, contrary to international law and the United Nations Charter, whilst fully supporting the economic sanctions imposed against Iraq by the United Nations Security Council and the Resolution authorising the arrangements for enforcing these sanctions, and whilst firmly believing that a peaceful settlement of this, and other, disputes in the Middle East is both possible and necessary, and that the United Nations Secretary General should be authorised to explore the possibilities urgently with a view to summoning a peace conference covering all the outstanding issue in the area, calls upon Her Majesty's Government to make a clear and unequivocal statement that it will not commit British forces to offensive military operations against Iraq that have not been explicitly authorised by a Resolution passed by the Security Council, and under the provisions of the United Nations Charter, which deal with the use of force by the United Nations and under its military command; and declines to support the Government in the absence of such a clear and unequivocal statement.

Thurnham, Peter 1 Thurnham, Peter 1990-09-06 Proposed 455 1989-90 1335A1 After 'economic', insert 'and social'. Skinner, Dennis 1 Skinner, Dennis 1990-09-06 Proposed 456 1989-90 1369 That this House condemns as an act of bigoted dogma the decision of the Secretary of State for Wales to force the sale of land in West Swansea which was being held by the education authority for provision of a new school; regards this as capitulation to the avaricious developers who will not be happy while one acre of green land remains undespoiled in this area of prime prices for development land; points out that adequate building land has already been made available, often against the wishes of the residents of Swansea West; and believes that this is further evidence, following the Parc Beck decision, of the extent to which this Government is firmly in the pockets of those who put their own profit before any social or environmental consideration.

Winterton, Nicholas 1 Winterton, Nicholas 1990-10-23 Proposed 542 1989-90 1445 That this House regrets that delay and uncertainty have long characterised the Government's approach to Care in the Community; is appalled by the continuing uncertainty that surrounds the implementation of the relevant parts of the National Health Service and Community Care Act; notes with approval those developments in Wales, including projects under the All-Wales Strategy for Mental Handicap and developments under the All-Wales Strategy for Mental Illness, which have demonstrated the effectiveness of partnerships between local authorities, voluntary organisations and Government bodies in Wales in improving the standards and quality of life for those who need care; regrets that such developments will wither if the Government fails to match resources to need in each part of Wales; and fears that the views expressed in the editorial of Social Work Today of 18th October that the Government, as part of its review of local government spending, is already 'hacking into the corpse of Caring for People' and that 'phased implementation' means in reality 'phasing out the whole idea' provide an accurate reflection of this Government's lack of commitment to the long-term care of all the elderly and disabled citizens of Wales and indeed the whole of the United Kingdom.

Stein in the television advertising campaign, because of his similarity with Herman Munster in The Munsters, himself having equal similarity to the character of the monster in Mary Bysshe Shelley's Dr Frankenstein oeuvres; condemns the readiness of the Government and its advisers to respond to a classic 'sting' with instant supplies of money; and requests the Government's team to take proper professional advice in future from qualified copyright lawyers before falling victim again to aggressive demands for licence fees from Hollywood hustlers.

Alton, David 1 Alton, David 1990-10-31 Proposed 597 1989-90 1480 That this House congratulates Eurotunnel and their contractors on establishing the first land link between Britain and Europe; welcomes this real and symbolic connection; and urges those who resist closer European integration by invoking the Dunkirk spirit to recognise the difference between standing alone against an enemy in 1940 and standing aloof amongst friends in 1990.

I give you explicit instructions to open fire, do everything to stop the flow of immigration...'; further notes his words 'I give you my instructions to use violence against the immigrants; I will jail whoever refuses to do this, I have already put into prison Palestinian ambassadors, members of the Revolutionary Councils and clergymen when they make a mistake. My decision and the decision of the Fatah to use violence must be carried out in real terms'; further notes that the PLO leader has not after six weeks, challenged the accuracy of this report; and urges Her Majesty's Government in its understandable anxiety to advance the peace process in the Middle East not to ignore the evidence that the PLO leader is still a man of violence whose intention continues to be the elimination of the State of Israel.
