HC Deb 04 March 2003 vol 400 c788

7.1 pm

Mr. Ivan Henderson (Harwich)

I should like to congratulate theEast Anglian Daily Times on organising this petition, and on its ongoing campaign to support the dualling of the A120. I should also like to thank the more than 2,000 members of the public who signed the petition.

The petition states: The Petition of theEast Anglian Daily Times and of the residents of the Harwich constituency declares That improvements to the A120 trunk road between Harwich and Little Bromley should be a priority, and that this work is imperative for the safety of road users, for the region's economy, and for the status of Harwich as a prime gateway to Europe. The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Department for Transport, Local Government and the Regions to prioritise improvements to the A120 international trunk road between Harwich and Little Bromley. And the Petitioners remain, etc.

To lie upon the Table.
