§ Tony Baldry (Banbury)I am pleased to be able to present to the House a petition signed by more than 10,000 of my constituents from the town of Bicester and the surrounding villages, which declares:
That they object to the proposal by the Home Office to build an accommodation centre for asylum seekers on land vacated by the Ministry of Defence and they want the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions to exercise his discretion to ensure that there is a public inquiry.That such a public inquiry should provide proper opportunity for the providers of local services, elected representatives of local communities and local people themselves to give evidence to be heard on the merits of any such proposal.And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.
§ To lie upon the Table.
