§ Mr. VazI present my second petition, which is against the poll tax, on behalf of David Roy Winder of 4 Rawsthorne walk, St. Marks, Leicester and 1,020 other residents of Leicester. A demonstration was held in Leicester last Saturday in which more than 1,000 people protested against the introduction of the poll tax which in Leicester will be more than £400 per person. The petitioners are concerned that the tax is unfair, unjust and will cause misery and hardship to thousands of people in Leicester and to millions of people throughout Britain.
Wherefore your petitioners pray that your Honourable House demands that the Secretary of State for the Environment withdraw this tax and listens to the views of the people of Leicester.And your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.
§ To lie upon the Table.
