HC Deb 08 July 1946 vol 425 cc1-2
Vice-Admiral Taylor

I beg to present to the House, Mr. Speaker, a humble Petition of inhabitants of the residential borough of Paddington, as follows: That in the present state of food rationing they consider that they and their families are under-nourished. Wherefore, your Petitioners pray that there shall be no further cuts in the rations, but rather that the ations should be increased in amount and variety. The number of signatures to the Petition, Sir, is 10,000.

Mr. Janner

On a point of Order. As a resident in that borough, Mr. Speaker, am I entitled to raise my protest against this Petition being presented?

Mr. Speaker

It is an old custom of this House that anybody can present a Petition.

To lie upon the Table.
