Tellers for the Noes :
Mr. David Lightbown and
Mr. David Heathcoat-Amory.
Question accordingly negatived.
Question, That the proposed words be there added, put forthwith pursuant to Standing Order No. 30 (Questions on amendments), and agreed to. Madam Deputy Speaker-- forthwith declared the main Question, as amended, to be agreed to.
Resolved,
That this House notes that it is now one year since the Government introduced a simpler, fairer, more flexible system of income-related benefits and that the uprating which took place yesterday added a further £2.2 billion to spending on social security, now running at £51 billion a year ; and congratulates the Government on the success of its economic policies which have enabled it not only to fulfil the pledge to maintain the value of the basic retirement pension in line with price movements but also to use the new system of income-related benefits to direct additional help this year of over a quarter of a billion pounds beyond the normal uprating to those in greatest need.

7.15 pm
Mr. Michael Meacher (Oldham, West) : I beg to move,
That this House, alarmed that the number of fatal and major accidents on building sites is up by two-thirds since 1981, and noting the Government's responsibility in encouraging relentless commercial pressures whilst at the same time failing to enforce safety standards, fully supports the efforts of workers and trade unions in the industry to press for higher health and safety standards ; and calls upon the Government to increase inspection, improve site management and enforce tougher penalties that counter effectively profit pressures and managerial negligence.
Madam Deputy Speaker (Miss Betty Boothroyd) : I should inform the House that Mr. Speaker has selected the amendment in the name of the Prime Minister.
