Sternberg of Plurenden Farm, but significantly failed to mention that this referred to the late Rudy Sternberg, a personal friend of the late Harold Wilson, who was created a Life Peer by the then Labour Prime Minister in the style and title of Baron Plurenden, ostensibly for services to British agriculture.

believes that, in response to renewed IRA violence, the British Government should reinstate lower remission rates for prisoners convicted of Republican terror offences until the IRA reinstates a credible and genuine ceasefire; further believes that the IRA would only have itself to blame for the added inconvenience and suffering caused to the prisoners and their families but that all efforts should be made to ensure that such prisoners are as near to their families as possible as an important humanitarian gesture; urges the IRA to be in no doubt that its turn-it-on and turn-it-off terror tactics will not be tolerated and that society has a right and duty to protect its citizens from the barbarism of groups like the Provisional IRA; and further urges the British and Irish governments to keep under constant review the position of all individuals already released on licence, on condition that they would be on good behaviour and do not upset the relatives of their victims.

1996-07-22 Signed Illsley, Eric 1996-07-23 Signed 12265 1995-96 1111 That this House is deeply concerned that if the private finance initiative to rebuild Halifax General Hospital goes ahead in Calderdale the reduction in beds from 834 to 500 will lead to a serious deterioration in services for the sick, more operations will be postponed, seriously ill patients will be discharged too early and many may not even be admitted to hospital; notes there is already pressure on existing beds, staff morale is at an all time low and Calderdale Healthcare Trust has not yet negotiated a pay rise for nurses; believes this situation can only worsen as the private company winning the private finance initiative contract will take over the running of domestic services, catering, laundry and linen, staff accommodation, portering and internal distribution, security, car parking and estates management; believes the only way the private company will make a profit is by cutting staff pay and offering worse conditions; condemns the Government's continued obsession with private finance initiative; and calls upon them to build the new Halifax General Hospital from public funds and retain the current number of beds.

Maguire, Chemist in Shirland Road, London W.9, is prepared to dispense controlled durgs at these levels and offer credit to addicts requiring it; further notes that whilst prescribing and dispensing at these levels is not in itself illegal, it is clear that the sale of excess drugs isbeing facilitated by these practices; and calls upon the General Medical Council urgently to review the practice of dispensing controlled drugs in these quantities and upon the Royal Pharmaceutical Socie ty urgently to review its Code of Ethics to curb the practices pharmacists in relation to the dispensing of controlled drugs.

Shaw, David 1 Shaw, David 1996-07-09 Proposed 12286 1995-96 1132 That this House welcomes the advisory opinion of the legality of the threat or use of nuclear weapons handed down by the International Court of Justice on 8th July; notes that unanimous opinion of the Court that a threat or use of force by means of nuclear weapons that is contrary to the United Nations Charter is unlawful; notes also the unanimous opinion of the Court that a threat or use of nuclear weapons should also be compatible with the requirements of international law applicable in armed conflict, particularly those of the principles and rules of international humanitarian law; reveals that the primary purpose of international humanitarian law is to separate combatants from non-combatants, which nuclear weapons, by their indiscriminate nature, cannot; notes further the unanimous opinion of the Court that there exists an obligation to pursue in good faith and bring to a conclusion negotiations leading to nuclear disarmament in all its aspects under strict and effective international control; and calls on the Government to fulfil its international legal obligations to achieve a nuclear-weapon-free world.

Bottomley, Peter 1 Bottomley, Peter 1996-07-10 Proposed 12292 1995-96 1137 That this House welcomes the decision by the World Court, made at the request of the UN General Assembly, that the threat or use of nuclear weapons would be 'contrary to the rules of international law' except in an extreme circumstance of self defence threatening the survival of the state, and the Court's further insistence that the nuclear weapons states should honour their obligation 'to pursue in good faith and bring to a conclusion negotiations leading to nuclear disarmament in all its aspects under strict international control', points out that these decisions were taken despite intense pressure from the nuclear weapons states not to rule at all and despite the dissent of judges from those states and emphasises the momentous consequences of the decisions in that it is now incumbent on Her Majesty's Government to put up positive proposals for getting rid of nuclear weapons and furthering world nuclear disarmament, on NATO to abandon the option to use nuclear weapons first, and on Britain and France to disavow any doctrine threatening the use of low yield weapons if 'vital interests are at risk'; and notes that the British judge effectively outlawed use of Trident in her dissenting argument that 'a weapon would be unlawful per se if it is incapable of being targeted at a military objective only'.

Smith Group plc already enjoys premium trading terms from supplying wholesalers and that this new proposal stands only to benefit W.H. Smith Group plc and will be to the detriment of small publications such as Tribune; is aware that the earlier decision by W.H. Smith Group plc to de-lista number of small circulation publications, including Tribune, had resulted in significant loss of sales; furthermore recognises that there are broader moral and legal ramifications associated with this company's attempt to establish margin differentials within the same product group; and condemns W.H.
