§ Ms Julia Drown (South Swindon)I am pleased to present a petition, which was signed by about 300 people in my constituency, that states that safe and affordable water and adequate sanitation are an essential part of ending world poverty.
The petition states:
The petition therefore requests that the House of Commons takes steps to ensure that the Prime Minister and the UK Government urge all UN member governments to agree an action plan for meeting the UN agreed target to halve the number of people without access to drinking water by 2015, and to increase the UK's official development assistance to the agreed UN target of 0.7 per cent. of GNP, prioritising…water resources within that.
To lie upon the Table.
