Mr Stefan Terlezki: He is as green as Tom Jones's grass.
Mr Stefan Terlezki: I beg to move, That leave be given to bring in a Bill to provide for the discontinuation of May Day bank holiday and to establish the Sir Winston Churchill National Day on or near to 10th May. For the past 42 years, the people of this country have enjoyed freedom and democracy and peace and tranquillity—in contrast to other parts of the world where fighting and killing never stop, where...
Mr Stefan Terlezki: The purpose of my Bill is to remind the people of this country time and again, the old and the young—especially the young—who do not know or who may have forgotten, that, when Britain was in the grip of the iron fist of Nazism and was bombarded indiscriminately, a man called Winston Churchill, with his determination, courage and dedication, together with the British people, made it...
Mr Stefan Terlezki: asked the Secretary of State for Defence what representations he has received seeking the deployment of an increased number of short-range nuclear weapons; and if he will make a statement.
Mr Stefan Terlezki: Does my right hon. Friend agree that it is extremely dangerous to negotiate only about medium-range missiles and not to take into account the short-range missiles—the SS1, the SS23 and the SS12, which have a range of 1,000 km? Bearing in mind also that in conventional weapons the NATO countries are outnumbered by the Warsaw Pact by 3:1 and 2:1 on land, sea and in the air, should we not take...
Mr Stefan Terlezki: asked the Prime Minister if she will list her official engagements for Tuesday 24 March.
Mr Stefan Terlezki: As my right hon. Friend will be visiting Moscow and meeting Mr. Gorbachev, will she please tell him that, while it is very important that we should negotiate on nuclear and conventional weapons for peace, harmony and friendship in the world, it is absolutely imperative that he show his human heart, human face, compassion and sincerity by allowing the people in Soviet Russia the freedom of...
Mr Stefan Terlezki: Is my right hon. Friend able to tell me what the financial impact on the barrage would be if a road were to be built over it?
Mr Stefan Terlezki: asked the Secretary of State for Wales what information he has as to the extent of the teaching of peace studies in Wales and as to the local education authorities involved; and if he will make a statement.
Mr Stefan Terlezki: I am most grateful to my hon. Friend for that answer. However, should peace studies be introduced in our schools, would he provide the finances for that subject?
Mr Stefan Terlezki: Does my hon. Friend agree that Wales depends a great deal on tourism? Since about 20 million British people will be taking their holidays abroad, is it not imperative to spend more cash to ensure that Welsh beaches are up to European standard, so that we can attract more tourism to the Principality?
Mr Stefan Terlezki: I shall not follow the remarks of the hon. Member for Neath (Mr. Coleman) except to say that, having listened to Labour Members who have spoken, it is evident that the Greenwich by-election has made them nervous and that they do not know whether they are coming or going. They realise that the Labour party in Wales is crumbling. As for the SDP—semi-desperate people — it has not got a cat...
Mr Stefan Terlezki: No, I will not. I make no apology for speaking about the achievements in Wales that have been brought about by the Welsh Office and my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State. The Cardiff bay development scheme is likely to attract features such as speciality shopping, sport and restaurant complexes, hotels, an arts centre and an aquarium. That would blend in with existing developments...
Mr Stefan Terlezki: No, I will not. Houses in Ely and Caurau in my constituency are not 100 years old, as was alleged by the right hon. Member for Cardiff, South and Penarth (Mr. Callaghan). They were built under the Labour Government and under a Labour-controlled city council. They are in disrepair and need urgent repairs. The right hon. Member, who has left the Chamber, should not say that all houses in...
Mr Stefan Terlezki: And in the rest of Wales.
Mr Stefan Terlezki: It is.
Mr Stefan Terlezki: Will the right hon. Gentleman give way?
Mr Stefan Terlezki: rose—
Mr Stefan Terlezki: rose—
Mr Stefan Terlezki: I very much appreciate the hon. Gentleman giving way. Does he agree that it would be most helpful if the South Glamorgan county council would contribute infinitely more to the Sherman theatre, because the Cardiff city council already contributes a great deal towards that theatre as well as to the new theatre in Cardiff? I would have thought that the hon. Gentleman would agree that South...
