further congratulates the West Midlands Low Pay Unit for its work in highlighting low pay in the Coventry area; is horrified that many of these people are paid a pittance, from ú1.75 per hour, and that it is not uncommon for employers to take on people on short-term, part-time contracts, and use them for long-term, full-time work; urges the Government to introduce legislation that would provide employment protection for part-time workers; calls on the Government to recognise that Britain's prospects are gloomy if the reliance on sweatshop economics increases; and demands that the Secretary of State for Employment accepts the basic necessity for a strong economy is a secure and enthusiastic workforce, otherwise, in the words of one part-time worker in the TUC report, `we can hold little hope for the future of the country.'.

Poulter, Divisional Commander of the Metropolitan Police, has conducted research on the incidence of crime in the area reported to the police and declared that he is confused as to why Villers Close has been singled out and stigmatised, suspecting that the criteria used by Prospero could relate to the value of claims and that a fire, such as had occured in Villiers Close, could seriously skew the data; notes that the allegation is not only untrue and a slur on the area but also that such false assessments results in residents unfairly having to face sky-high contents insurance bills; and calls for a Department of Trade and Industry investigation of this matter.

Allason, Rupert 2 Allason, Rupert 1995-07-17 Proposed Jones, Lynne 1995-07-18 Signed 10391 1994-95 1422 That this House calls on the Secretary of State for National Heritage to discharge Dr Gwyn Jones from his post as Chairman of the BBC Broadcasting Council for Wales and the seat on the BBC Board of Governors that is carried with it; and draws the Secretary of State's attention to the unprecedented second successive highly critical report by the Committee of Public Accounts on the activities of the Welsh Development Agency during Dr Jones' chairmanship, the Forty-seventh Report of Session 1993-94 (HC 353), having been followed by the Twenty-ninth Report of Session 1994-95 (HC 376), thereby underlining the ultimate responsibility of any chairman at a quango for any wrong-doing occurring during his stewardship, and prompting the inevitable conclusion that Dr Jones is not a fit and proper person to chair a public body.

Chirac that it is the view of the overwhelming majority of the British people and the member states of the Commonwealth that the French nuclear tests in the Pacific should cease forthwith; and, in the light of the anti-European and anti-foreigner tenor of the remarks of the Secretary of State for Defence in Blackpool, believes that the proposed visit by M. Chirac to the joint Anglo-French Air Defence Command at High Wycombe should be postponed until such time as political control of Britain's defences are in the hands of a Minister or a party which believes in co-operating with Britain's friends and allies in Europe instead of treating them to chauvinist abuse.

McGrady, Eddie 1 McGrady, Eddie 1995-10-18 Proposed 10458 1994-95 1478 That this House congratulates the honourable Member for Stratford-on-Avon on leaving the Conservative and Unionist Party; expresses concern, however, that while the honourable Member for Stratford-on-Avon believes his principles have not changed, those of the Labour party have changed to meet his; notes that on 5th March 1987 he voted to impose the poll tax on Scotland; also draws attention to his support for the introduction of student loans; further notes that the honourable Member has voted for increasing VAT on domestic fuel to 17.5 per cent; and believes that the ease with which new Labour has embraced an honourable Member who holds such Tory and anti-Scottish views says a great deal about the Labour Party under its present leadership. Salmond, Alex 1 Salmond, Alex 1995-10-18 Proposed 10459 1994-95 1479 That this House calls on the Department of Health and Social Services to amend the Patient's Charter to allow freedom of information and thereby ensure that individuals who have been struck off general practitioners' lists are given detailed reasons for such actions.

Sales (Gloucester) Ltd., both now dissolved, and is currently a director of Table Top Marketing Ltd. and Steve's Cash and Carry; believes that travelling salespeople who do not operate from a permanent trading standards office; calls on the Government to review the law on consumer protection and how it can be more effectively applied; considers that Beach is an unscrupulous and wholly disreputable fraudster and cheat; and urges people who consider themselves to be victims of misrepresentation to seek redress in the small claims court.
