lpv:spoken text	"I would like to make a point of order under Rule 108 related to Rule 112. In various Spanish and French prisons 18 Basque political prisoners have been undergoing hunger strikes since 1 November. They are revolting against the denial of elementary human rights by the French and Spanish authorities. One of the hunger strikers, after 44 days of fasting, has today been transferred to the Hôtel de Dieu Hospital in Paris in extremely poor health after losing 24 kilos. Eighteen years have passed since the courageous Westminster MP Bobbie Sands and 10 other Irish political prisoners staged a hunger strike to death. Only when the hunger striker was out of the way did the Thatcherite Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, James Prior, acknowledge that the British Government was ready to accept reforms. We need, right now, very urgently, before it is too late, a similar statement from the Spanish and French Governments. We ask this House under Rule 112 to accept this question as an urgent matter."@en1
