| FOOTBALL HOOLIGANISM
|
| Mr William Hague
Miss Ann Widdecombe
Mr Oliver Heald
Mr Peter Luff
Mr Patrick McLoughlin
Mr James Arbuthnot
|
| That this House condemns unreservedly the actions of hooligans purporting to support the England football team at the Euro 2000 championships; hopes that there will be no repetition of these actions and that UEFA's threat to expel the England team from the tournament will not be acted upon; notes that UEFA and others have criticised the Government's lack of action to tackle football hooliganism; further notes that proposals to stop unconvicted hooligans from travelling to international matches were brought forward by Opposition honourable Members during proceedings on the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 and the Football (Offences and Disorder) Act 1999 but were not taken up by the Government, despite the Minister for Sport's statement that such powers were necessary; calls on the Home Secretary to explain the inaction and delay that has characterised the Government's approach, despite the undertakings given by Ministers to bring forward their own proposals; and calls on the Government urgently to take the action it has promised for two years to tackle the problem of the thugs who are a disgrace to this country's proud footballing tradition.

| As Amendments to Mr William Hague's proposed Motion (Football Hooliganism):
|
| The Prime Minister
Mr Secretary Prescott
Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer
Mr Secretary Cook
Mr Secretary Straw
Mr David Lock
|
| Line1,leave out from `House' to end and add `wholly deplores the violence in Belgium during the Euro 2000 competition perpetrated by United Kingdom citizens, and condemns the irresponsibility and criminality of those involved; welcomes the good co-operation between the British police and National Criminal Intelligence Service with the law enforcement agencies in Belgium, the Netherlands and France by which a large number of individuals with banning orders from football-related convictions against them have been prevented from travelling to Belgium and the Netherlands; strongly supports the many measures already taken by Her Majesty's Government, the police and other agencies; and endorses the further measures announced by the Secretary of State for the Home Department yesterday.'.

Bob Russell
Mr Paul Tyler
|
| Line1,leave out from `House' to end and insert `deplores the violence in Belgium perpetrated by United Kingdom citizens during the Euro 2000 competition and condemns the criminality and irresponsibility of all those involved; fervently hopes for no repetition of this behaviour and that UEFA will not be driven to expel England from the tournament; believes that attention should focus on measures with the widest agreement which can be taken from now on, not controversial actions which might have been taken in the past; further believes that the Football Association should always be given full and fair hearings within UEFA in any debate on England's place in the tournament; requests the Belgian authorities further to reduce opportunities for drunkeness and criminal behaviour among Euro 2000 visitors; calls on all UEFA member countries to prevent known hooligans from travelling abroad, to make full use of the existing law to deal with those involved in hooliganism and to prosecute wherever evidence is available so that individuals are brought to justice and not just deported; believes that fuller use of police intelligence should be made to identify and prevent activities by those encouraging, organising and supporting violence; and believes that calls for legislation retrospectively to impose additional bans on those previously convicted are unlikely to be immediately effective given the evidence that most of those caught up in the last week's events are not previously known or suspected offenders; and that future bans where there has been no conviction would be a disproportionate and unacceptable response.'.

|
| Mr William Hague
Mr Archie Norman
Mr Bernard Jenkin
Mr Nigel Waterson
Mr Patrick McLoughlin
Mr James Arbuthnot
|
| That this House condemns the apparent intention of Ministers to ignore the recent vote by members of SERPLAN to limit the number of new houses built in the South East and to `punish' members of SERPLAN for taking that decision; calls on Ministers to abandon their attempts to impose overall figures for new housebuilding on regions of the country; deplores the Government's failure even to meet its own targets for new development on brownfield sites; regrets the continuing decline of towns and cities and, on almost the first anniversary of the Rogers Report, the Government's failure to address the vital issues of urban regeneration, or growing internal migration and the drift from towns and cities to the countryside, or homelessness; and calls upon the Government to halt the decline of the cities, bring forward measures to protect greenfield sites and the Green Belt, and take steps to return more power to local communities to decide planning and housebuilding priorities.

|
| The Prime Minister
Mr Secretary Prescott
Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer
Mr Secretary Cook
Mr Secretary Straw
Mr Secretary Blunkett
|
| Line1,leave out from `House' to end and add `welcomes the Government's move away from the previous `predict and provide' approach to housing provision and the introduction of a `plan, monitor and manage' policy under the new regional planning policy arrangements, including a target for building 60 per cent. of all new housing on previously developed land and the tightening of planning controls on out of town shopping and ending the profligate use of land; supports the Government's policies on protecting the Green Belt and improving the use of all land and preventing piecemeal greenfield development; believes the Government's planning, housing, transport, countryside protection, welfare and economic policies will achieve more sustainable and equitable patterns of both urban and rural development; welcomes the Government's continued commitment to sustainable growth, safeguarding the countryside and promoting an urban renaissance; supports the targeting of regeneration initiatives in areas of greatest need and the Government's inter-linked policies for revitalising towns and cities and protecting the countryside; and applauds the Government's aim of giving everyone the opportunity of a decent home and recognises that the doubling of housing investment and other social housing reforms introduced by this Government are creating stronger, safer and more sustainable communities.'.

| Mr Charles Kennedy
Mr A. J. Beith
Mr Don Foster
Mr Mike Hancock
Mr Tom Brake
Mr Paul Tyler
|
| Line5,after `country' insert `and give the right to make these decisions to the regions without government interference; notes with concern recent Conservative proposals to extend Right to Buy on social housing which would further exacerbate the pressures on the housing market and make finding a home much harder for homeless families in the region; regrets the Government's failure to equalise VAT at a lower rate on new build and renovation and its failure to take adequate steps to bring back into use the seven hundred and fifty thousand empty properties in the UK'.
