24151 2003-04 1759 That this House notes the inconvenience and distress caused by local authorities giving a new street a name that is similar or identical to the name of another street in the same area; recognises that problems arising from this can include missing credit card bills, the unwanted and unauthorised change of utility suppliers and bailiffs trying to repossess the wrong person's property; therefore calls on local authorities to take greater note of the Street Name Plates and the Numbering of Premises guidelines, as issued by the then Department of Transport in 1993; urges local authorities to consult with Royal Mail when considering new street names, as advised by the guidelines; and stresses the importance to both Royal Mail and the emergency services for local authorities not to give new streets similar names to exiting roads that are in the same locality.

Brooke, Annette 1 Brooke, Annette 2004-10-25 Proposed 24205 2003-04 1810 That this House is most concerned by what appears to be the intention of the Department for Trade and Industry to exclude an unknown but potentially large number of deceased claims from recovering damages under the Coal Health Claims Handling Agreement, notwithstanding the fact that the Agreement was designed by Lawyers for both sides under the direction of the Court and in the knowledge that in many cases medical records would not be available and that under the medical assessment process the respiratory specialists would do the best they could in arriving at a balance of probability decision resulting in a discount in compensation payable in recognition of the paucity of medical evidence; is alarmed that the DTI has moved away from the Agreement and has described cases where there is a paucity of medical evidence as unassessable claims; and calls on the DTI to go back to the principles of the Agreement under which 180,000 claims have already been processed instead of pressing ahead with a change that will damage confidence in the claims handling process.

Johnson's 1964 election theme 'The Great Society' which had the vision of prosperity, social improvement and civil rights reform, and was defined as a society in which poverty would be abolished, education would be available for all, peace would prevail and every man would be free to develop his potential; also recalls that this fine vision was scuppered by the cost of and opposition to the unjust war in Vietnam; notes the Prime Minister's vision for modern, reformed, well invested public services in this country, but is concerned that this could similarly be scuppered by the cost of an unpopular foreign war; so demands that continued, substantial investment in public services in this country take priority over the costs of the conflict in Iraq.
