Petitions

Geoffrey Clifton-Brown Excerpts

Tuesday 1st December 2015 Commons Chamber

[Sir Edward Garnier (Harborough) (Con)]

I wish to present a petition on behalf of many hundreds of residents of my Harborough constituency in exactly the same terms as my right hon. Friend the Member for Meriden (Mrs Spelman) and my hon. Friend the Member for Beverley and Holderness. Leicestershire has always been at the very bottom, if not penultimate, in the Whitehall funding system. We hope this petition will move the Government to improve things.

[P001557]

[Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (The Cotswolds) (Con)]

I am grateful to you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to present a petition of approximately 2,000 signatures on behalf of my constituents in The Cotswolds. That demonstrates the strength of feeling in my constituency that the current funding mechanism is inequitable. I hope the petition will change the situation.

[Helen Jones (Warrington North) (Lab)]

I rise to present a petition on behalf of many hundreds of people in Warrington North in the same terms as the hon. Member for Beverley and Holderness.
