HC Deb 14 November 1990 vol 180 c677 10.29 pm
Mrs. Alice Mahon (Halifax)

I wish to present a petition from my constituents, who are alarmed that the Government are supporting a treaty which will allow mining in the Antarctic. They believe that the Antarctic is the last great wilderness left on earth and it should be kept that way. It is the one place on earth free from commercial development. I agree wholeheartedly with them and I am very proud to present the petition on their behalf.

To lie upon the Table.
