That this House notes that brain tumours have one of the lowest survival rates of all cancers, of just 19 per cent within five years of diagnosis compared to 51 per cent for all cancers and the highest average years of life lost of all common cancers of 20.1 years, compared to 11.8 years for lung cancer and 6.1 years for prostate cancer; further notes that brain tumours kill more people, including children, under the age of 40 years than any other cancer but receive less research funding per death than many other cancers; and further notes the recent report by Brain Tumour Research on this issue and supports its campaign for better funding for brain tumour research specifically.

That this House supports the Jewish News' campaign for Sir Ludwig Guttmann, the founder of the Paralympics, to be formally recognised by the Olympic Authorities; calls on the London Development Legacy Corporation, the Government and all relevant authorities to recognise Sir Ludwig in the post-Games Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park; notes that Sir Ludwig represents triumph in the face of adversity after he fled Nazi Germany and later became head of Stoke Mandeville Hospital's National Spinal Injury Centre which led him to establish the first Games for the disabled in 1948 which eventually paved the way for the realisation of his dream of a parallel Olympics for disabled people in 1960; and considers that it is therefore fitting, in this year of Olympic and Paralympic triumph for Great Britain, that Sir Ludwig Guttmann is formally recognised so that generations to come can be inspired by his significant contribution to the Paralympic movement.

That this House notes that brain tumours kill more people, including children, under the age of 40 yearsthan any other cancer; further notes that brain tumours are responsible for an average loss of life of 20 years, which is more than most other cancers, and that up to 40 per cent of all cancers which initiate outside the brain end up with a secondary cancer in the brain; further notes that despite leaps forward in diagnostic technology and treatment, life expectancy for people living with brain tumours has not significantly improved for 40 years and that brain tumour research receives only 0.7 per cent of all money spent on cancer research in the UK; therefore supports the efforts made by the Brain Tumour Consortium to ensure that existing medical guidelines are followed to ensure early diagnosis and treatment for everyone affected by a brain tumour; believes that all those diagnosed with a brain tumour should receive a consistently high standard of treatment and care throughout the UK; and further believes thatthere should be a significantly enhanced national programme of brain tumour research which reflects the number of people affected by brain tumours.

That this House condemns the imprisonment of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit by Hamas, but is appalled by the cruel and inhumane treatment suffered by the 7,000 Palestinians incarcerated in Israeli prisons, involving denial of medicines and basic healthcare, denial of education and reading materials, refusal of family visits, excessive fines, repeated night searches of cells and the long-term isolation of elected members of the Palestinian legislative council; believes that Israel's practice of holding Palestinians for unspecified periods of time without charge, including children, journalists and 21 Palestinian MPs is unacceptable; further believes that all this amounts to the collective punishment of Palestinian prisoners for the imprisonment of soldier Shalit; and calls on the Government to increase pressure on Israel to end its immoral and uncivilised treatment of prisoners.

That this House notes that 25 June 2011 is the fifth anniversary of the kidnap of Israeli serviceman Gilad Shalit by Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups in a cross-border terrorist attack inside Israel; is concerned that Gilad Shalit is being held incommunicado in the Gaza Strip and is neither permitted to send nor receive messages from his family; further notes that the International Committee of the Red Cross continues to be denied access to the kidnapped soldier; further notes that the soldier's continued detention is an obstacle to peace between Israelis and Palestinians; further notes that Gilad Shalit's detention is a serious violation of international humanitarian laws governing the treatment of prisoners of war, as enshrined by the Third Geneva Convention; condemns the kidnapping of Corporal Gilad Shalit; and calls on the Government to redouble its efforts to secure his immediate release.

That this House notes with concern the analysis in Save the Children's No Child Born to Die campaign that eight million children a year die before their fifth birthday, mainly in the poorest countries and largely due to easily preventable causes such as pneumonia, malaria, diarrhoea and complications after birth which rarely lead to child mortality in rich countries; believes that every child should receive healthcare, irrespective of the conditions into which they are born, and that this requires a focus on extending immunisation and the training of healthworkers; and calls on the Government as a leader on global health, a commendable supporter of the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisations (GAVI), and host of June's 2011 GAVI summit, to galvanise other donor countries to put immunisation in poor countries on a sustainable financial footing, and ensure that life-saving vaccinations reach the world's poorest and most vulnerable children as part of a global effort to save 15 million children's lives by 2015.
