Plans to limit the number of
Bulgarian and Romanian workers coming to the UK when they join the EU next
year are to be outlined by Home Secretary John Reid. The UK was one of only
four countries to open their borders to the eight countries which joined the EU
in 2004. Up to 600,000 workers entered the country which was more than was
expected.
q.
Should we limit the number of workers
entering the UK from all member states of the EU?

The cost of residents' parking
permits could be linked to car emissions under plans being considered in one of
the country's most affluent areas. A Lib Dem council in London wants
owners of gas-guzzling vehicles to pay more to park outside their homes.
Richmond residents with high-emission cars could pay £750 a year, compared with
£200 now, but the greenest cars would be exempt.
q.
Should owners of cars with
poor fuel consumption/high-emission figures pay for their effects on the
environment?

The government has denied caving in to pressure after
scrapping proposals to make new faith schools in England
take children from other religions. Under the plans,
they would have had to reserve up to 25% of places for
pupils from outside their faith. But Education
Secretary Alan Johnson said he had now reached a "voluntary
agreement" with churches on quotas making legislation
unnecessary. Tory Lord Baker branded it the "fastest
U-turn in British political history".
q.
Should the question of
student quotas be left to the schools to decide? |

Across the UK there are 38 Children's Hospices with five
more planned. These facilities provide a caring and
comforting atmosphere for terminally ill children and their
families. Unbelievably, Hospices in England only
receive an average of 5 per cent of their funding from the
government. The dedicated staff rely on public
donations to provide this desperately needed service.
Without this dedication many of our children would not be
able to pass through this final period with the dignity and
care they deserve.
q.
Should this most valuable
service be fully funded by the Government?

Twenty per cent of 14-year-old British girls have had sex -
a survey suggests with an average of three partners. 65
per cent of these had unprotected sex,
while almost half had had a one-night stand (45 per cent). The number who
have had sex more than once a month was over half (55 per
cent). Only 6 per cent did not have sex again after their first
experience. The survey found alcohol was a major contributing factor, with
60 percent admitting they were drunk when they first had sex.
q.
Should young girls be
taught that underage sex is wrong, rather than being taught
how to do it? |

Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell has said the UK will become
the "world leader" in internet gambling. A new
regulatory code is to be implemented to protect consumers.
30 countries have met at Ascot racecourse to discus the UK
plan and a possible international standard. Tessa
Jowell has said that to ban internet gambling would only
drive it "underground" and fuel crime. US law forbids
internet betting and prohibits banks and credit card firms
from taking web payments.
