QUEEN’S SPEECH (MOTION FOR AN ADDRESS): Adjourned Debate on Question (15th November). Adjourned Debate on Question (15th November). [Until 6.00 p.m.]
|
[Until 6.00 p.m.]
|
|
| |
Motion made, and Question proposed, That an humble Address be presented to Her Majesty, as follows:
|
|
|
|
| |
We, Your Majesty’s most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
in Parliament assembled, beg leave to offer our humble thanks to Your Majesty for the Gracious Speech which Your Majesty has
addressed to both Houses of Parliament—(Alun Michael).
|
|
|
|
| |
As an Amendment to the Address, at end add—
|
|
| |
‘but humbly regret that the Gracious Speech fails to announce proposals for a strategy for Iraq providing for a phased withdrawal
of United Kingdom armed forces; deplore the further erosion of traditional British freedoms that will result from the Government’s
proposals on security and terrorism, increasing intrusion into private lives without commensurate improvements in public safety
or the repeal of existing and unnecessary laws and regulations; and further regret that the measures proposed to address global
warming lack ambition and are not sufficient to establish the United Kingdom as a world leader in combating climate change.’.
