That this House notes the Report by Sir John Mortimer's Advisory Group on The Future of the Vacant Plinth in Trafalgar Square; notes that a statue to commemorate the role women played in World War II was the second choice of members of the general public; notes the conclusion of the report regarding use of the plinth for a rotating exhibition of modern sculpture; notes also the conclusion that the Advisory Group felt that there should be such a tribute, but that Trafalgar Square is not the best place for it; and that it should be in a park or a more open space where is could be more easily enjoyed; and requests the Government to provide a statue to commemorate the role women played in World War II either in Trafalgar Square or elsewhere in a prominent position.

That this House congratulates Duncan Brown, the Lanarkshire artist, who discovered that 14 Lanarkshire men had received the Victoria Cross and subsequently immortalised their redoubtable bravery in a series of fine paintings; notes that the local newspaper, The Hamilton Advertiser, has published weekly, individual accounts of these gallant men's courageous actions for which they were rightly awarded the highest military honour in the land, the Victoria Cross; and believes that people everywhere would wish to associate themselves with the estimable campaign being run by The Hamilton Advertiser, which has raised, not only public awareness within the Lanarkshire communities, but substantial funding for a memorial to be erected in their everlasting honour.

That this House remembers the 1948 massacre at the Palestinian village of Deir Yassin; acknowledges the great significance of this tragic event for Palestinians since it marked the beginning of the depopulation of over 400 Arab villages and cities and the expulsion of over 700,000 Palestinians; and therefore calls on Her Majesty's Government to make representations to the Israeli Government, to permit, as a gracious act of reconciliation and mutual recognition, the building of a memorial at the site of the massacre.
