HC Deb 23 October 2001 vol 373 c253 10.28 pm
Mr. Dominic Grieve (Beaconsfield)

I wish to present the petition of Joan Martin and 3,500 of the citizens of Beaconsfield and elsewhere.

The petition states: In 1975 the British people, in a referendum, agreed to continue in a Common Market, a group of equal and free European Nations trading together without barriers and tariffs. By default the British people have, without their consent, become citizens of a European State run by a non-elected bureaucratic Commission in Brussels. This foreign power has suborned our legal system and the authority of our Parliament.Wherefore your petitions pray that your Honourable House do all in its power to re-establish our sovereign right to rule ourselves in accordance with the freedoms, liberties and rights granted to us and our Heirs forever under Magna Carta in 1215.

To lie upon the Table.
