HC Deb 25 May 1993 vol 225 c893

12 midnight

Mr. Tony Lloyd (Stretford)

It gives me considerable pleasure to present this petition to the House on behalf of my constituents in Stretford, especially those associated with primary and secondary schools who face the withdrawal of section 11 funding and who are concerned about the impact of that withdrawal on the quality and quantity of education in those hard-pressed parts of the borough of Trafford.

The petition says: the withdrawal of section 11 funding will have a serious impact on the quality of education and opportunities for young people. Wherefore your petitioners pray that your honourable house reconsider this decision. I make it clear that I fully support the petition.

To lie upon the Table.
