HC Deb 04 July 1996 vol 280 cc1117-8 7.41 pm
Mr. David Lidington (Aylesbury)

I rise to present a petition on behalf of my constituents, who are objecting to the proposed freight railway system planned by Central Railway. The petition has been signed by constituents living in Bradenham—the boyhood home of my predecessor, Benjamin Disraeli—Bledlow Ridge, Saunderton, Horsenden, Lacey Green, Loosley Row, Princes Risborough, Longwick and Ilmer.

The petition has my full support, and declares: the proposal of Central Railway is unacceptable in that the environmental damage it will cause would far outweigh any claimed benefits. The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons rejects the Central Railway Application for an order under the Transport and Works Act 1992.

To lie upon the Table.
