Petitions

Debate between Kate Green and Martyn Day

Wednesday 16th October 2019 Commons Chamber

[Kate Green (Stretford and Urmston) (Lab)]

I rise to present a petition on behalf of my constituents concerned about the situation in Kashmir. More than 1,500 residents are calling on the House to urge the UK Government to use their international standing to encourage India and Pakistan to engage in constructive and sustained dialogue to bring about a peaceful and just solution that is in accordance with the aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

The petition states:

The petition of residents of Trafford,

Declares that the dispute in Kashmir should be resolved peacefully.

The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the UK Government to use its international standing to encourage India to engage in a comprehensive and sustained dialogue process with its neighbour Pakistan to resolve the Kashmir dispute, and urge the international community to play its role in securing a just and peaceful resolution of the Kashmir dispute in accordance with the aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

And the petitioners remain, etc.

[P002529]

[Martyn Day (Linlithgow and East Falkirk) (SNP)]

I rise to present a petition that was brought to my attention at my constituency surgery by a constituent who was affected by the insolvency of London Capital and Finance.

The petition states:

The petition of residents of Linlithgow and East Falkirk,

Declares that investors affected by the insolvency of London Capital and Finance eight months ago have still to learn whether they will have access to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme; notes investors that include local residents of Linlithgow and East Falkirk have still to receive clarification about the Financial Conduct Authority’s role in regulation the activity of London Capital and Finance; and further notes no explanation has been given as to why London Capital and Finance was permitted to promote itself as regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Treasury to ensure that the independent investigation into the events around London Capital and Finance’s collapse is not in any way impeded and reaches a swift conclusion.

And the petitioners remain, etc.
