HC Deb 09 March 1999 vol 327 cc269-70

10.1 pm

Mr. Paul Marsden (Shrewsbury and Atcham)

I wish to present a petition, which I strongly support, on behalf of Mr. J. G. Jordan and 156 other rural road hauliers from in and around Shrewsbury and Shropshire. While greatly appreciating the general help that my right hon. Friend the Chancellor has given road hauliers today in his Budget, the petitioners request: That the House of Commons recognise that rural road hauliers are especially disadvantaged as the Government strives to meet its environmental targets and as such they should receive a fair package of financial support. And the Petitioners remain, etc.

To lie upon the Table.

Forward to
