|
OPPOSITION DAY (16th allotted day)
|
[Until 7.00 pm]
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
That this House expresses its very great concern that the Extradition Act 2003 is being undermined by a series of high profile
cases that are jeopardising confidence in the extradition system; and calls on the Government to hold immediately a review
of the Act with a view to reforming it at the earliest opportunity to deal with the issues of public concern.
|
|
|
As Amendments to Mr David Cameron’s proposed Motion (US-UK Extradition Treaty):
|
|
|
|
(a)
|
| |
Line 1, leave out from ‘House’ to end and add ‘notes that it is beneficial to the public to be able to extradite people accused
of crimes in another country who might otherwise escape justice and that extradition treaties such as the US-UK Extradition
Treaty 2003 work to the significant benefit of both countries; notes that the UK must demonstrate ‘probable cause’ to the
US courts while the US must demonstrate ‘reasonable suspicion’ to the UK courts; notes that these tests are broadly equivalent
given the differences between the legal systems in the two jurisdictions; recognises the view that ascertaining whether prosecution
ought to take place in the UK should be considered by relevant prosecutors at the beginning of the process and not by judges
at extradition hearings, which could result in serious criminals evading justice; and further notes that since 2004, people
have been convicted on murder, manslaughter and smuggling charges in the UK following extradition from the US, whilst those
charged with murder and terrorism offences have been extradited to the USA.’.
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
| |
Line 1, leave out from second ‘that’ to end and add ‘under the Extradition Act 2003 and US-UK Extradition Treaty, the United States
is not required to provide prima facie evidence when requesting extradition from the UK, although the United Kingdom is still
required to provide evidence to satisfy the US constitution’s probable cause requirement when seeking extradition from the
US; and calls on the Government to renegotiate the Extradition Treaty immediately to put extradition between the UK and the
US on a basis of full reciprocity.’.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
That this House believes all old people should be treated with dignity and respect; regrets that 2.5 million pensioners are
living in poverty; notes the Government’s failure to state when it intends to restore the link between the uprating of the
state pension and the growth in average earnings; regrets the sharp decline of defined benefit schemes during this Government’s
stewardship; further regrets that the Government failed to adopt proposals for fully-funded measures to help savers in this
year’s Budget; notes that some 45,000 people are forced to sell their homes each year to pay for long-term care; regrets the
lack of costed options and proposals in the Government’s Green Paper for the future funding of long-term care; recognises
the pressures on the health and social care systems due to demographic factors and the debt crisis; notes that, despite claims
to the contrary, no party has plans to cut support for pensioners such as free bus passes, free TV licences for over 75s or
winter fuel allowance; supports active and independent ageing; pays tribute to all those with caring responsibilities across
the public, third and private sectors, in particular the six million voluntary carers in the UK; and calls on the Government
to introduce more effective policies to encourage respect for older citizens and to promote security and dignity in old age.
|
|
|
As an Amendment to Mr David Cameron’s proposed Motion (Caring for the elderly):
|
|
|
|
|
|
(a)
|
| |
Line 1, leave out from ‘House’ to end and add ‘welcomes the steps taken since 1997 to tackle increasing pensioner poverty; notes
that policies delivering real help to pensioners include free bus passes, free TV licences, winter fuel payments and Pension
Credit which ensures no pensioner lives on less than £130 a week; notes that the Government is targeting around £100 billion
more on pensioners than if pre-1997 policies had been maintained; further notes the Government’s commitment to reversing the
policy of separating uprating of the state pension and growth in average earnings; notes the introduction of the Financial
Assistance Scheme, the Pension Protection Fund and the Turner consensus as building a sustainable pensions system going forward;
welcomes raising of Individual Savings Accounts limits at Budget 2009; warmly welcomes the Government’s Ageing Strategy; further
welcomes the publication of the Green Paper, Shaping the future of care together, which proposes a National Care Service to
create the first national, universal, entitlement-based system for care and support ever in England; notes that the Government’s
proposals will shape a new care and support system fit for the 21st century that will be fairer, simpler and more affordable
for everyone; further notes the published indicative costs an individual may face during their lifetime and the comprehensive
impact assessment for the Green Paper; recognises that carers make a huge contribution to society; and acknowledges that the
new Care Quality Commission has made dignity and respect one of its six key areas of inspection.’.
