§ Mr. Michael Shersby (Uxbridge)I beg to present a petition of 7,335 signatures from the London borough of Hillingdon with the full support of my hon. Friend the Member for Hayes and Harlington (Mr. Dicks), who is in his place beside me, and in the interest of our neighbour my hon. Friend the Member for Ruislip-Northwood (Mr. Wilkinson).
The petition of the London borough of Hillingdon, its residents and other interested residents in the surrounding area.Declares that the blight in the surrounding area and the uncertainty surrounding the illustrative scheme contained in the RUCATSE report—by the working party to examine the need for runway capacity in the south-east of England—in addition to the unprecedented scale of environmental damage a third runway at Heathrow would cause is an unacceptable burden on thousands of residents.The petitioners therefore request the House of Commons' early as possible outright rejection of Heathrow as an option for further runway capacity in the south-east, and certainly before the end of 1994.And the petitioners remain your sincere servants.
§ To lie upon the table.
