That an Humble Address be presented to His Majesty, as follows:
Most Gracious Sovereign,
We, Your Majesty’s most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Parliament assembled, beg leave to offer our humble thanks to Your Majesty for the Gracious Speech which Your Majesty has addressed to both Houses of Parliament.
Amendment (a)
Caroline Lucas
At end add ‘but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech fails to deliver urgent and transformative action to address the climate emergency; note that the approval of the Rosebank oil field and the commitment to new oil and gas licences threaten the delivery of the UK’s climate targets; and call on the Government to bring forward a Just Fossil Fuel Phaseout Bill to remove the duty to maximise economic recovery of petroleum from the North Sea, legislate for a rapid end to oil and gas extraction, and deliver a just transition for workers and communities, to enact a Green New Deal to upgrade the UK’s cold and leaky homes, unleash renewable energy, and shift to a system to deliver affordable and sustainable food, whilst creating jobs in every constituency, to bring forward a Clean Air (Human Rights) Bill to establish a right to breathe healthy air, to strengthen the Renters (Reform) Bill by including measures to control rents, raise energy efficiency standards, and require landlords to swiftly act on health hazards and to introduce a new English Right to Roam Bill to deliver a comprehensive right of responsible access in England, improve physical and mental health, and transform the UK’s relationship with nature.’

At end add ‘but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech fails to include measures to ensure the Government upholds international humanitarian law and protect civilians in Israel and Palestine; utterly condemn Hamas’ appalling killing of Israeli civilians and taking of hostages; agree with the United Nations Secretary-General that these crimes do not justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people; express alarm at the Israeli military’s total siege and bombardment of Gaza and the resulting high number of deaths and at an increase in Israeli army and settler violence in the West Bank; believe that the urgent priority must be to stop civilian deaths and suffering; welcome the growing calls for a ceasefire, including from the United Nations Secretary-General, the First Minister of Scotland, the mayors of London and Greater Manchester, and 76 per cent of the UK public, according to opinion polls; and therefore call on the Government to urgently press all parties to agree to an immediate ceasefire, the immediate and unconditional release of hostages, an end to the total siege of Gaza to allow full access to medical supplies, food, fuel, electricity and water, and a guarantee that international humanitarian law is upheld.’

At end add ‘but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech does not contain measures to properly address the crisis of food poverty and the cost of living; note the profound and devastating consequences of food poverty on the health, wellbeing and livelihoods of people in our communities; assert that the Government’s duty to ensure nobody in our communities goes hungry should be reflected in legislation; and call on the Government to bring forward legislative proposals to enshrine the right to food in UK law.’
