§ Dr. John Reid (Motherwell, North)On behalf of my constituents in Motherwell, North, I wish to, present a petition to the House which invites the House to use its influence to seek to repeal the Act of Parliament which will lead in turn to the poll tax or community charge which my constituents believe will be a regressive form of taxation which is unrelated to ability to pay and will cause severe hardship to the poor, large families and families with dependent relatives, pensioners and many other low income groups, such as student nurses.
To lie upon the Table.
