QUEEN’S SPEECH (MOTION FOR AN ADDRESS): Adjourned Debate on Question [25 May].
|
[Until 10.00 pm]
|
|
| |
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.
|
|
|
As Amendments to the Address, at end add—
|
|
|
|
|
|
(a)
|
| |
‘but, whilst welcoming the progress made by the previous administration to reform and improve the constitutional arrangements
of the United Kingdom, respectfully believe that such changes should be made wherever possible on the basis of a strong cross-party
consensus; therefore call for active discussions by your Government on proposals for an elected House of Lords, a referendum
on the alternative vote, recall of hon. Members, the period of any fixed-term Parliament, party funding, changes to the number
of hon. Members, the drawing of electoral boundaries, and individual voter registration; consider as wholly unacceptable and
undemocratic proposals to require any special majority to remove a Government and require an early general election, or to
alter the number of hon. Members or the boundary rules in an arbitrary and partisan way; strongly endorse the measures which
led to an overall reduction in crime of over a third, and of violent crime of 41 per cent., since 1997; oppose any measures
to cut the number of police officers and police community support officers, to restrict the use of the DNA database in accordance
with the Crime and Security Act 2010, to extend anonymity in rape cases to defendants, or to politicise constabularies through
the introduction of elected commissioners; and urge your Government to reconsider the introduction of a pre-determined cap
on skilled immigrants and to maintain the flexibility and effectiveness of the current points-based system.’.
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
| |
‘but respectfully request that your Government includes as part of its Strategic Defence and Security Review a full examination
of the Trident nuclear missile system and any possible replacement.’.
|
|

Proposed subject for debate: Constitution and Home Affairs
