motion text | That this House expresses its deep concern that on 27 October 2018, Turkish forces launched a series of attacks against villages west of Kobane and in Gire Spi in Northern Syria; condemns these attacks, the impact on the civilian population of these villages and, in particular, the killing of a 12-year old girl in Gire Spi on 1 November, World Kobane Day; notes that the Syrian Democratic Federation forces had been engaged in a battle to defeat the last bastions of ISIS in the region with the support of US-led coalition forces; and calls on the Government to exert meaningful and decisive political, diplomatic and economic pressure on the Turkish Government to cease these illegal cross border attacks against the UK's allies in the majority Kurdish region. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

motion text | That this House recognises that many people on low incomes, or in receipt of benefits, often have financial difficulties in spreading their income over a whole month, and are forced to use credit card companies or pay day lenders at very high rates of interest; expresses concern at the large number of people who end up needing to use food banks or payday lenders because they do not receive sufficient income to cover their essential costs; believes that all work should pay the real Living Wage and provide enough income to live with security and dignity; further believes that benefits paid to people who are looking for work or too ill to work should also provide sufficient income to live with dignity and without being in poverty, or needing to rely on food aid; further notes that monthly payment of benefits may be difficult for some recipients, who would find it easier to manage their finances if they could be paid weekly or fortnightly; notes that having the option to be paid at shorter timescales can be useful to people on low incomes; calls on the Department for Work and Pensions to automatically agree to every request to have benefits paid weekly or fortnightly, rather than monthly, and to make it clear to all recipients of universal credit that they have the right to request this; and calls for employers, particularly of staff on low incomes, to give their employees the option of being paid weekly, fortnightly or monthly. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

motion text | That this House expresses concern at the continuing lack of justice for victims and survivors of the Marikana Massacre in South Africa in August 2012 and at the involvement of Lonmin, a London-based and listed company, in that massacre; urges the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to call on the Government of the Republic of South Africa to release the miners who are in prison as a result of the Massacre, to review the Farlam Commission and prosecute those responsible for the Massacre, and to compel Lonmin to fulfill its obligations under its Social and Labour Plan; further calls on the UK Government to ask Lonmin to publish in full the results of the audit of its Marikana operations by its primary customer BASF, and to enter into a social covenant with specific timeframes with the entire mining community, to include an apology to the South African nation and to the families of the mineworkers murdered, injured or arrested, reparations to the affected parties, including all dependents of the deceased mineworkers and the injured and arrested workers who survived the massacre, taking public responsibility for the environmental destruction at Marikana, and ensuring that people in the communities around the mine have sufficient water, proper sanitation and electricity; and calls on the Government to insist that when Lonmin is sold, any new owners must continue to fulfil this social covenant and that this is reflected in the purchase contract. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
