§ Mr. Martin LindsayI beg leave of the House to present a humble Petition from 1,400 inhabitants of the parish of Sheldon in the City of Birmingham in the Parliamentary constituency of Solihull. The Petition showeth:
That the sweets and confectionery allocation allotted to Mr. C. H. Andrews of 8, Arden Oak Road, Sheldon, is insufficient to provide the said people of Sheldon with comfort and nourishment in the form of sweets and confectionery as is reasonable and desirable, and your Petitioners pray that they may be granted relief from such hardship by the Honourable Commons of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Parliament assembled with an increased allocation of sweets and confectionery, and your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.''
§ Petition to lie upon the Table.
