That this House recognises the excellent work done by employers, trade union, health and safety representatives and inspectors from the Health and Safety Executive and local authorities to make workplaces safer; notes with regret the latest survey of abuse of shopworkers by the Union of Shop Distributive and Allied Workers that shows that in the last year six per cent. of shopworkers were subjected to violent attack, 37 per cent. were threatened with harm and 70 per cent. were verbally abused; expresses sympathy with all the victims of attack or injury in the workplace; is concerned to note that the survey also showed that 50 per cent. of the abuse suffered by shopworkers was related to age-restricted sales and dealing with proof of age; acknowledges that no workplace can automatically be assumed to be safe and that therefore all workplaces need health and safety inspections from time to time to ensure that risks are minimised; and calls on the Government to continue to support the Health and Safety Executive and local authorities to inspect all workplaces to maintain the current record numbers of police and community support officers to continue to protect front-line workers and the public from violence, threats and abuse, and to run high-profile publicity campaigns in support of a no identification- no sale policy and to ensure that young people are aware that it is an offence to attempt to buy alcohol if they are under 18.

That this House believes that the Government should end legal loan sharking by capping the cost of credit for the whole sector, not just for credit and store cards, and provide alternative affordable sources of credit through the Post Office network, local credit unions, community development financial institutions, co-operatives and mutuals; acknowledges that the UK's poorest borrowers pay the highest price for credit in Europe; further acknowledges that up to 16,000 of excess profit is made every hour from the sector and that this is extracting wealth from the poorest communities; and is concerned that the Office of Fair Trading's recommendations, including industry codes of practice and financial education, won't work effectively to reduce prices for consumers.

That this House is deeply concerned at research by the National Housing Federation, the main voice of UK housing associations, that changes to housing benefit from April 2011 will result in more than 750,000 people being put at risk of losing their homes, 425,000 of them in London, leading to the highest number of homeless people in Britain since modern records began in 1980; agrees with the comments of Mr David Orr, the National Housing Federation's Chief Executive, that thousands of children will be forced to leave schools as families seek cheaper accommodation, with poorer people ghettoised into poorer neighbourhoods or end up in bed and breakfast accommodation; urges the Government to recognise the importance to British society of having people of varying incomes living near to the centre of cities and towns; and calls on the Government not to proceed with policies which will force low-income families and pensioners to leave their homes and existing communities.
