HC Deb 08 December 1989 vol 163 cc579-80
Mr. Neil Thorne (Ilford, South)

I wish to present a petition on behalf of more than 300 constituents who wish to object to the proposals of the Boundary Commission to disregard the wishes of the London borough of Barking and Dagenham and of the London borough of Redbridge for the division between those two authorities.

The humble petition of the residents of the London borough of Redbridge in my constituency who are affected by the recent Boundary Commission proposals sheweth that they object to the Boundary Commission's proposals to transfer their property from the London Borough of Redbridge to the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. Wherefore your Petitioners pray that your honourable House will ask the Boundary Commission to reconsider their proposals and accept the original recommendation put forward by the London Borough of Redbridge. And your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray. My constituents wish to remain in a low-rated area. The low rates are the reason why they bought their property in the London borough of Redbridge.

To lie upon the Table.
