§ Mr. Harry Cohen (Leyton)I should like to present a petition on behalf of the residents of Waltham Forest about rate capping there. The cuts imposed as a result of that rate capping are not acceptable to the community. The petition says:
Wherefore your Petitioners pray that your honourable House should support local services in Waltham Forest and withdraw selective rate limitation.The petition, which I support, contains the signatures of approximately 5,250 local people, but that is just the tip of the iceberg of local concern. The Government have treated my borough very badly, and severe cuts in social services, education and other public services are a consequence. I support my local residents who have petitioned the House.
§ To lie upon the Table.
