HC Deb 14 December 1994 vol 251 cc1041-2 10.31 pm
Sir Peter Fry (Wellingborough)

I beg to present an humble petition of the residents of Wellingborough and Rushden, signed by 366 of my constituents, which sheweth: That the UNFPA (United Nations Population Fund) and the IPPF (International Planned Parenthood Federation) receive money from the Overseas Aid Budget and in turn support the Chinese Population Control Programme which abuses the human rights of the people of China through forced contraception, sterilization and abortion, leading to infanticide and physical damage to women. Wherefore your Petitioners pray that your honourable House will ensure that no further funds from the Overseas Aid Budget are disbursed to the UNFPA and the IPPF, while these organisations support, encourage or act as apologists for the Chinese Population Control Programme. And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray, etc. To lie upon the Table.
