Lord Garnier Excerpts

Monday 4th November 2013 Commons Chamber

[Mr Brooks Newmark (Braintree) (Con)]

I, too, am handing in a petition in the same terms for more than 200 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.

[Sir Edward Garnier (Harborough) (Con)]

I am also handing in a petition in the same terms as my hon. Friend the Member for Beverley and Holderness (Mr Stuart) from residents in my constituency.

The Petition of the residents of Harborough.

[P001239]

[Roberta Blackman-Woods (City of Durham) (Lab)]

I, too, am handing in a petition in the same terms for a number of signatories from my constituency. Although my constituency is the City of Durham, it has a large rural area and, critically, is part of Durham county council, a large rural authority that wants its rural fair share.
