Tania Mathias Excerpts

Wednesday 10th February 2016 Commons Chamber

[Dr Tania Mathias (Twickenham) (Con)]

I present a petition on behalf of the residents of my constituency who oppose plans by the Ministry of Defence to sell off the site of Kneller Hall, the home of the Royal Military School of Music. I am grateful to all the constituents who took the time to add their names.

The petition reads:

To the House of Commons,

The petition of residents of the Twickenham constituency,

Declares that the Ministry of Defence’s proposed sale of the Kneller Hall site should not go ahead; further that the site has played an important role in the local community over many decades; and further that the Royal Military School of Music is historically important.

The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to stop the sale of the Kneller Hall site.

And the petitioners remain, etc. [P001672]
