§ Mr. Hugh FraserI beg to present a Petition on behalf of many hundreds of transport workers in North Staffordshire:
To the honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Parliament assembled.
The humble Petition of the transport workers in North Staffordshire showeth that the Transport Bill will impose an additional tax burden on the road haulage and passenger transport industry, will reduce productivity, implement restrictive practices and increase costs.
Wherefore your Petitioners pray that this Transport Bill shall not be passed by your honourable House and your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.
§ To lie upon the Table.
