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 recognises and welcomes the legalisation of medical cannabis with effect from 1 November 2018 but regrets the immense ongoing disappointment and suffering being caused to patients and their families, particularly those affected by severe childhood epilepsy, who continue to be prevented from accessing medical cannabis as a result of the combination of the NHS guidelines and recommendations from the Royal College of Physicians and the British Paediatric Neurology Association which are so restrictive that hardly any patients will be able to access it and are acting to deter clinicians from prescribing; and calls on the Government to use every possible means to ensure the urgent provision of new guidance and regulations that will allow access to medical cannabis for patients. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
