1153 FLOOD PREVENTION FUNDING IN THE LAKE DISTRICT 16:4:18 Tim Farron

1 That this House urges the Government to give greater recognition to the economic case for flood prevention in affected communities; registers its disappointment that failure to do so means that the Lake District communities of Windermere, Bowness and Backbarrow have not received the necessary flood prevention funding to protect them from future extreme weather events; notes that 80 per cent of the workforce in the Lake District work in tourism and that the industry is worth over £2 billion pounds to the Cumbria economy which has been negatively impacted by flooding in recent years; and believes that the Government would be failing in its duties if it does not protect these communities from the impact of flooding. 1154 WAITROSE AND DISPOSABLE CUPS 16:4:18 John Mann Sir Peter Bottomley

2 That this House commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, from 19 April to 16 May 1943; notes that after Germany invaded Poland in September 1939, more than 440,000 Jews were confined to just 1.3 square miles of Warsaw, sealed in by a wall patrolled by armed guards; understands Ghetto residents were forced to live in appallingly squalid conditions, with an average of 7.2 people per room, with food rations deliberately insufficient to sustain life; realises many thousands of Ghetto inhabitants died of starvation and disease, while in July 1942, the Nazis began deporting Jews to Treblinka extermination camp, murdering 265,000 in two months; acknowledges that the lightly armed Jewish Combat Organization, led by 23-year-old Mordecai Anielewicz, resisted heroically when on 19 April 1943, SS forces attacked with heavy artillery, tanks and aircraft to liquidate the Ghetto, battling German forces for nearly one month while the SS razed ghetto buildings, destroying bunkers in which thousands of surviving residents had hidden; welcomes the 75th anniversary's commemoration with Warsaw's people laying daffodils upon the grave of Marek Edelman, the last surviving uprising commander; and hopes that the bravery of the Jewish resistance fighters who resisted genocide will be commemorated internationally for years to come.

1156 ATMS IN CASINOS 16:4:18 Sir Mike Penning Sir Peter Bottomley Gavin Robinson

3 That this House calls for a total ban on ATMs in casinos; believes that the current restriction, whereby ATMs in casinos are located away from gaming machines so that a customer who wishes to use an ATM is required to cease gambling in order to do so, is not sufficient to prevent gambling addiction; and further calls on the Government to act.

5 That this House notes with concern the publication and subsequent recommendations of the independent review into S4C; highlights the removal of S4C's direct public funding, resulting in the broadcaster having to rely on the licence fee which is both administered and governed by the BBC; raises concerns therefore of editorial independence and public accountability; further notes with disappointment that the review makes no mention of devolving responsibility of S4C to Wales, as recommended by the Silk Commission; stresses the discrepancy in the fact that the Welsh Government has powers over the Welsh language but no powers over S4C, the only Welsh language television channel and therefore one of the most significant tools for promotion of the Welsh language; further highlights with alarm the added digital responsibilities which have been added to S4C's remit, without the corresponding funding to reflect additional costs; notes with dismay the Government's decision to announce its response through written Statement only, removing the possibility of proper Parliamentary scrutiny through a dialogue in the House; and urges the Government to schedule a debate in the House enabling the people of Wales, through their elected representatives, to have their say about the future of S4C. 1161 RHYS McCLENAGHAN'S GOLD MEDAL 16:4:18 Jim Shannon David Simpson Paul Girvan Emma Little Pengelly Ian Paisley Gavin Robinson 6 That this House offers sincere congratulations to Commonwealth Champion Rhys McClenaghan; notes the first gold medal for Northern Ireland outside the sports in which that part of the UK usually excels, thus demonstrating a great improvement of sports development in Northern Ireland; thanks Rhys' family and friends for the support they have given him which has enabled Rhys to work towards this wonderful achievement; further thanks his home club, Rathgael Gymnastics Club for the work and effort it has poured in to him; and finally extends its sincere hope for a long and dazzling career for Rhys, looking towards Tokyo 2020 for more success.
