WORLD AIDS DAY

Early day motion 177, tabled 21 November 2002 by Lord Watson of Wyre Forest (Labour). Signed by 77 members.

That this House notes that 1st December is World Aids Day; believes that the spread of HIV and AIDS in developing countries is preventable and believes that care and adequate treatment for those infected with HIV and AIDS in the developing world is hampered by debt and unfair international trade rules which favour resource-rich nations; congratulates the 22 United Kingdom-based non-governmental organisations which have united together to form the Stop AIDS Campaign in order to raise awareness about the global HIV/AIDS epidemic and campaign for increased United Kingdom and international action; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to take the lead internationally to stop AIDS by investing further resources in the combat against the epidemic, working harder to tackle poor country debt and addressing the lack of affordable medicines to treat HIV and AIDS.

Signatures by party: Labour 55, Liberal Democrat 9, Labour/Co-operative 6, Scottish National Party 3, Plaid Cymru 2, Conservative 1, UUP 1.
