HC Deb 13 March 1947 vol 434 c1461
Mr. David Renton (Huntingdon)

I beg to ask leave to present a Petition on behalf of a large number of persons in the Counties of Cambridge, Norfolk, Essex, Suffolk and Huntingdon, being part of the Eastern Traffic Area, against the nationalisation of the Road Transport Industry. The Petition has been signed by 27,000 persons. The Prayer of the Petition is as follows: We, the Petitioners, humbly pray your Honourable House to reject any proposals which may hereafter be submitted to Parliament for approval or for legislation with the object of replacing private enterprise in the provision of road transport by a nationalised or Government controlled system of transport; and your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray. To lie upon the Table.
