§ Mr. Max Madden (Bradford, West)I beg to ask leave to present a petition signed by Kath Parry of Duchy avenue, Bradford and 89 of my constituents — the signatures were collected in one hour — which emphasises
That the costs of SDI research would divert public money which might be spent to alleviate the financial cuts now being inflicted on health, welfare and educational services or on the modernisation of our manufacturing industries.The petitioners pray thatyour honourable House to make public the secret agreements governing both United States bases and Star Wars research in Britain; to take steps to remove the American nuclear bases and to end Star Wars research; to take positive initiatives to end Britain's role in the nuclear arms race and to promote the peaceful solution of international problems.
§ To lie upon the Table.
