§ Mr. LubbockI beg leave to present a Petition on behalf of 2,036 of the electors of the constituency of Acton, whose signatures were collected during five hours on Saturday. The Petition shows:
That since the tenth day of October 1967 the electors of Acton have been unrepresented in your Honourable House of Commons and no steps have been taken to cause an election of a new Member to be held for the said constituency of Acton and that the electors of the said constituency have thereby been and are still disfranchised.
Wherefore your Petitioners humbly pray that the Speaker of your Honourable House be moved to issue his warrant for a new writ to fill the vacancy in the said constituency of Acton.
§ To lie upon the Table.
