Mrs Sheryll Murray (South East Cornwall) (Con)
I am presenting a petition that is jointly sponsored by my right hon. Friend the Member for Plymouth, Moor View (Johnny Mercer). We consider the toll to be an extra tax on our constituents and local businesses.
The petition is supported by my right hon. Friend the Member for Camborne and Redruth (George Eustice), my hon. Friends the Members for North Cornwall (Scott Mann), for Truro and Falmouth (Cherilyn Mackrory) and for South West Devon (Sir Gary Streeter), and my right hon. and learned Friend the Member for Torridge and West Devon (Sir Geoffrey Cox). I congratulate the Tamar Toll Action Group, the Road Haulage Association and Councillors Lennox-Boyd and Tivnan on helping to gather more than 6,300 signatures.
The petition states:
“The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Secretary of State for Transport to refuse permission for an increase in the tolls this year.
And the petitioners remain, etc.”
Following is the full text of the petition:
[The petition of residents of Cornwall & Devon,
Declares that they do not want to see a toll increase on the Tamar Crossings in 2024.
The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Secretary of State for Transport to refuse permission for an increase in the tolls this year.
And the petitioners remain, etc.]

This petition is from the residents of Walsall South. The petitioners note that
“people who received infected blood and who have suffered as a consequence have, along with their families, waited far too long for redress.”
Some of them have found it very difficult to access their medical records over a long time, and today’s urgent question does not leave them any clearer about when they will get compensation.
“The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to implement the recommendations in the Second Interim Report of the Infected Blood Inquiry without delay.”
There are signatories to the petition who have been directly affected by the failure to implement the recommendations.
