Ian Paisley Excerpts

Tuesday 22nd May 2012 Commons Chamber

[Mr Andrew Turner (Isle of Wight) (Con)]

I present a petition in similar terms from the Isle of Wight, from 356 residents or visitors.

The Petition of residents of the Isle of Wight Holiday Parks.

[P001047]

[Ian Paisley (North Antrim) (DUP)]

It is my honour and privilege to prevent a “Stop Caravan Tax” petition of behalf of my constituents, in the same terms as that presented to the House by my friend the hon. Member for Beverley and Holderness (Mr Stuart). In the wonderful villages of Bushmills and Ballycastle, and indeed in the Glens, caravan parks will potentially be destroyed by such a tax. As I voted against it, it is my honour to defend the rights of those villagers and prevent this tax on holidays.

The Petition of residents of North Antrim constituency.

[P001048]

[Mr Greg Knight (East Yorkshire) (Con)]

I seek to present a petition signed by approximately 1,000 residents of East Yorkshire and beyond. It is in identical terms to that presented by my hon. Friend the Member for Beverley and Holderness (Mr Stuart). My constituents who are petitioning agree with his, and I agree with him.

The Petition of residents of East Yorkshire.
