Petitions

Andrea Leadsom Excerpts

Monday 4th November 2013 Commons Chamber

[Jacob Rees-Mogg (North East Somerset) (Con)]

The petitioners of North East Somerset echo Margaret Thatcher when she went to Europe and said, “We want our money back.” They want their rural fair share in the same terms as my hon. Friend the Member for Beverley and Holderness (Mr Stuart), and they present their petition with the greatest and humblest respects to the House.

[Andrea Leadsom (South Northamptonshire) (Con)]

I am handing in a petition in the same terms as that of my hon. Friend the Member for Beverley and Holderness (Mr Stuart) for 551 signatories from my constituency, including representations from 29 villages.

[Damian Hinds (East Hampshire) (Con)]

I, too, am handing in a petition in the same terms for a number of signatories from my constituency. The petitioners therefore request the House of Commons to urge the Government to reduce the rural penalty in staged steps by at least 10% by 2020.
