§ Mr. Desmond Swayne (New Forest, West)It is my privilege to present a petition in the name of my constituent, Mrs. Pamela Combes, which has been signed by some 750 of my constituents. The petitioners are concerned about proposals for new housing in Hampshire, equivalent to the building of a settlement the size of Southampton. They believe that that will devastate vast tracts of countryside, overwhelm the health, leisure and education services, cause massive congestion and overwhelm the life of rural communities.
§
The petition states:
Wherefore your petitioners pray that your honourable House ask the Deputy Prime Minister to totally reject the advisory panel's proposals to build 169,000 new houses in Hampshire.
§ To lie upon the Table.
