- Charges for Oxygen (Airlines) (30 Jun 2009)
Rudi Vis: My wife uses oxygen, so I have been listening carefully to my hon. Friend the Minister. Earlier, he talked about stress. I have found that stress is not restricted to the airlines. We took cylinders with us when we travelled on Eurostar. I was kept behind in Paris for an hour because the officials thought that I was going to blow up the bloody plane. People feel stressed with hotels and...
- Charges for Oxygen (Airlines) (30 Jun 2009)
Rudi Vis: Can the matter be associated with landing rights? The Minister has set standards for UK companies, and we can put pressure on them. Landing rights are UK rights.
- People's Mujahedeen Organisation of Iran (4 Mar 2008)
Rudi Vis: I thank the hon. Gentleman for raising this issue. He and I do not disagree on it. He described the treatment of the organisation as "perverse"; has it gone before any courts?
- People's Mujahedeen Organisation of Iran (4 Mar 2008)
Rudi Vis: Is it not also true that another part of the opposition of which the hon. Gentleman speaks—the National Council of Resistance of Iran—has resolved, as part of its home programme, not to pursue the nuclear path?
- People's Mujahedeen Organisation of Iran (4 Mar 2008)
Rudi Vis: The hon. Gentleman mentioned the president of the Iranian Resistance. Will he confirm that she is not in favour of appeasement, but also that she is not in favour of war? What she is in favour of is the PMOI being taken off that list.
- People's Mujahedeen Organisation of Iran (4 Mar 2008)
Rudi Vis: It was suggested in a previous intervention that the PMOI was a terrorist organisation. I would not wish to talk about the intervention in a negative way, but I ask the maker of that comment to suggest whether anything took place outside Iran.
- Committee of Ministers and Council of Europe (9 May 2007)
Rudi Vis: I have always found that the absence of the death penalty in all the nations of the Council of Europe is one vital principle. I am sure that my hon. Friend agrees.
- Committee of Ministers and Council of Europe (9 May 2007)
Rudi Vis: In that particular case, what does my hon. Friend think is the solution to Malta's representation in respect of the judges?
- Committee of Ministers and Council of Europe (9 May 2007)
Rudi Vis: I hope that this comment is of value to the Minister in particular. What annoys me is the fact that many of us are absent when a considerable number of votes are taken, and when the lists of the votes and how many times one has voted are published, we do not come out well. My hon. Friend may wish to comment on that, but should he not wish to do so, perhaps the Minister will.
- Royal Assent: Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation (27 Mar 2007)
Rudi Vis: Are you suggesting that successful large companies—
- Royal Assent: Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation (27 Mar 2007)
Rudi Vis: Do you accept, Mr. Deputy Speaker, that what the Gentleman is saying suggests that he is attacking large and successful companies?
- Cyprus (10 Jan 2007)
Rudi Vis: My hon. Friend says that Turkish Cypriots voted for the plan, but there are now fewer than 80,000 Turkish Cypriots living in the occupied territory, although there are about 130,000 Turks living in that territory, and they were given voting rights?
- Cyprus (10 Jan 2007)
Rudi Vis: I thank my hon. Friend for his detailed analysis, but before he concludes will he pay a few minutes' attention to plan Annan V because we should acknowledge that it did not observe all the UN resolutions?
- Cyprus (10 Jan 2007)
Rudi Vis: Does my hon. Friend agree that it is absurd for a country that wishes to join the EU not to recognise a country that is part of the EU?
- Bill Presented: Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism (20 Jul 2006)
Rudi Vis: Does the hon. Gentleman agree that very few Members had any idea of the basic information about more than three or four organisations out of the 21, yet we had only one vote?
- Bill Presented: Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism (20 Jul 2006)
Rudi Vis: Two members of Hezbollah are in the Government. It is a little difficult to proscribe part of the Government of that country.
- Bill Presented: Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism (20 Jul 2006)
Rudi Vis: Organisations are sometimes not proscribed because it is easier for the police to keep an eye on them that way than otherwise.
- Bill Presented: Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism (20 Jul 2006)
Rudi Vis: I recall that in 2001 we had one vote on the proscription of 21 organisations. If any of those organisations were to be de-proscribed in the way that my hon. Friend the Member for Glasgow, East (Mr. Marshall) suggested, would there have to be a review of all 21 proscribed organisations, because there was just one vote?
- Orders of the Day — Electoral Administration Bill: New Clause 3 — Death of candidate (8 Nov 2005)
Rudi Vis: Will the hon. Gentleman please tell us what would happen if two people from minority parties died at the same time? I should be most interested to hear his analysis of such a situation.
- Adjournment (Easter) (24 Mar 2005)
Dr Rudi Vis: I have spoken about Cyprus in previous Adjournment debates, but I shall not do so today, given the very sensitive negotiations that are being held in respect of Turkey's possible accession to the EU on 3 October. I shall turn instead to the proscription in the United Kingdom, the European Union and the United States of the People's Mujaheddin Organisation of Iran—the PMOI—in the...
