HC Deb 24 June 2004 vol 422 c1537

6.3 pm

Janet Anderson (Rossendale and Darwen) (Lab)

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, for allowing me this opportunity to present a petition of more than 1,000 signatures which have been collected by my constituent Miss Murielle Elliot of 7 Foxhill drive, Rossendale. The petition of residents of the Rossendale valley Declares that a great many pets— particularly cats— have been stolen from their owners in the Rossendale area.

The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Government to make provision for the protection of pets, and for the return of stolen pets to their rightful owners.

And the Petitioners remain, etc.

To lie upon the Table.
