IRAQ INQUIRY
Mr David Cameron
Mr William Hague
Mr Geoffrey Clifton-Brown
Mr Keith Simpson
Mr Mark Francois
Mr Patrick McLoughlin
 
   That this House supports the principle that there should be an inquiry by an independent committee of Privy Counsellors to review the way in which the responsibilities of Government were discharged in relation to Iraq and all matters relevant thereto in the period leading up to military action in that country in March 2003 and in its aftermath and to make recommendations on the lessons for the future.
   As an Amendment to Mr David Cameron’s proposed Motion (Iraq inquiry):
The Prime Minister
Mr Secretary Prescott
Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer
Mr Jack Straw
Secretary Margaret Beckett
Secretary Des Browne
Dr Kim Howells
 
   Line 1, leave out from ‘House’ to end and add ‘notes the Resolution of 31st October 2006; recognises that there have already been four separate independent committees of inquiry into military action in Iraq; further recognises the importance of learning all possible lessons from military action in Iraq and its aftermath; and therefore declines at this time, whilst the whole effort of the Government and the armed forces is directed towards improving the condition of Iraq, to make a proposal for a further inquiry which would divert attention from this vital task.’.
 
SUPPORT FOR CARERS
Mr David Cameron
Mr Andrew Lansley
Mr Jeremy Hunt
Mr Stephen O’Brien
Tim Loughton
Mr Patrick McLoughlin
 
   That this House recognises the vital contribution that the UK’s six million carers make to society; welcomes recent announcements on carers including the Government review of the National Strategy for Carers, the New Deal for Carers and the Treasury report ‘Aiming high for disabled children: better support for families’ as steps towards an improvement in recognition and support for carers; notes that 54 per cent. of carers have given up work and one in five carers feel forced to do so; recognises the impacts which caring responsibilities have on family incomes, relative poverty and the health of carers themselves; is deeply concerned that an estimated 175,000 young people are carers of adults with the consequent pressures on them; calls on the Government to reduce the bureaucracy of social care provision that puts so much pressure on carers; and asks the Government to bring forward proposals for simplifying the benefit system in order to provide better support for carers and to ensure that the review of the National Strategy for Carers has both short term and long term objectives to enhance support for carers and to respond to the vital role played by carers in society.
   As an Amendment to Mr David Cameron’s proposed Motion (Support for carers):
The Prime Minister
Mr Secretary Prescott
Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer
Ms Secretary Hewitt
Mr Secretary Darling
Mr Secretary Hutton
Mr Ivan Lewis   
Mrs Anne McGuire
 
   Line 3, leave out from ‘review’ to end and add ‘of the first ever National Strategy for carers, the New Deal for Carers and the Treasury report “Aiming high for disabled children: better support for families” as steps towards an improvement in recognition and support for carers; notes that the review of the National Strategy includes a far reaching consultation with carers and others to make recommendations for the short, medium and long-term; further welcomes the extra £25 million for short-term home-based respite care for carers and the extra £3 million towards establishing a national helpline for carers announced in 2007; congratulates the Government for introducing in 2007 the new Expert Carers Programme; further notes that the Pensions Bill currently before Parliament includes a package of reforms to recognise the contribution made by carers and ensure that they can build up better pension records; further notes that the right to request flexible working introduced by this Government will help carers better balance their work and caring benefits; and further welcomes the substantial improvements made to the benefits available to low income carers.’.
