Petitions

John Whittingdale Excerpts

Monday 4th November 2013 Commons Chamber

[Sir Nick Harvey (North Devon) (LD)]

I rise to present a petition in the same terms on behalf of 1,671 of my constituents, who are heartily sickened by this injustice and believe that a 10% improvement by 2020 is the very least that could be done.

The Petition of the residents of North Devon.

[P001236]

[Mr John Whittingdale (Maldon) (Con)]

I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Beverley and Holderness (Mr Stuart) on launching this excellent campaign. I am handing in a petition in the same terms as his on behalf of my constituents from the village of St Lawrence. However, they speak on behalf of all the residents of the Maldon district.

The Petition of the residents of Maldon.

[Daniel Kawczynski (Shrewsbury and Atcham) (Con)]

I rise to support my hon. Friend the Member for Beverley and Holderness (Mr Stuart) and to hand in a petition in the same terms with 71 signatories from my constituency. The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Government to reduce the rural penalty in staged steps by at least 10% by 2020.

The Petition of the residents of Shrewsbury and Atcham.
