motion text	That this House welcomes the findings of the Complaints Commissioner following complaints lodged by George Patellis and Adam Nettleship regarding the loss of over £100 million by investors in the Connaught Income Series 1 Fund; notes that Mr Patellis was Chief Executive of Tiuta PLC, a firm at the heart of the scandal, and his efforts to whistle-blow on mismanagement of the fund were met by a response from the Financial Services Authority (FSA) that the Complaints Commissioner described as uncoordinated and fragmented, and failed to prevent continuing detriment to investors; regrets the refusal of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to accept the Commissioner's recommendation that Mr Patellis receive a public apology for the lack of care over his treatment as a whistle-blower and the defensive and insensitive manner in which it has defended the FSA's failure to refer Mr Patellis' evidence to the police or to advise him appropriately on his ability to do so; further notes that Mr Nettleship is an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA) and that the Commissioner found the FCA's emphasis on investors looking to IFAs for compensation may have had the effect of shifting the focus away from the possibility that there might also have been regulatory failure; considers that the Commissioner's findings raise serious questions of regulatory failure; expresses concern over whether companies involved in the Connaught Fund demonstrate an appropriate commitment to high ethical standards; and calls on Capita as original operator of the fund, and its successor Blue Gate, to acknowledge their responsibilities and offer investors realistic compensation.

motion text	That this House recognises the need for people claiming benefits to follow the rules governing their eligibility; notes the fact that 50 per cent of appeals against benefits sanctions are upheld, and that many who face sanctions are not informed in writing prior to the sanction taking place; regrets the acute challenges faced by many who are subject to sanctions, and research which shows that this system is one of the underlying reasons behind the increase in the use of food banks across the UK; and calls on the Government to reform the system to ensure that no person or family is left without the means to buy food or heat their home as a result of benefits sanctions.

motion text	That this House notes that the Manchester United Automatic Cup Scheme obliges season ticket holders to buy tickets for home cup ties; further notes that the punishment for not doing so is a stadium ban for the next Premier League home game, even though such games have already been paid for; further notes that tickets for the FA Cup replay against league two Cambridge United on 3 February 2015 ranged from £31 to £53 for adults and that the date for this tie was only confirmed eight days before the match; recognises that this additional cost at such late notice is a financial burden on fans who may be unable or not wish to attend the game; further recognises that the enforcement of a one-game stadium ban upon supporters who do not wish to or cannot afford to attend an extra mid-week match is an unnecessary and callous punishment; further notes that the voluntary cup schemes offered by other clubs both provide season ticket holders with flexibility in match attendance and enable non-regular attendees to see football in their place; condemns the policy of any football club forcing season ticket holders to sign up to compulsory ticket purchases for cup ties; and calls on Manchester United FC to remove this clause from its terms and conditions and replace it with a Voluntary Cup Scheme.

motion text	That this House notes that the Humber Bridge was the longest single-span suspension bridge in the world for 16 years; further notes that the original estimated cost of construction was £28 million, which grew to £98 million by completion; further notes that, thanks to interest charges, the Humber Bridge Board, which oversees the running of the bridge, saw its debt rise to £439 million; further notes that the Humber Bridge (Debits) Act 1996, passed by this House to reorganise the Board's debts in order to safeguard the bridge's future maintenance, reduced that debt and that the current debt is £333 million; further notes that in order to manage the debt, the Board charges a toll which, at £5.40 for a return car crossing, is the most expensive toll crossing in the country; further notes that local businesses regard this toll as a hindrance to the local economy because it discourages investment; further notes that Richard Kendall, policy executive at the Hull and Humber Chamber of Commerce, said recently that `the toll stops businesses on the north bank investing in the south bank and vice versa'; further notes that a petition calling on the Government to write off the debt itself has been signed by over 5,000 people; and calls on the Government to look into the feasibility of writing off the Bridge's debt at the earliest possible date.
