§ Mr. Paul Goodman (Wycombe) (Con)I wish to present a petition on behalf of 1,000 readers of The Star newspaper in my constituency about the council tax. It reads as follows:
To the honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Parliament assembled,
The humble petition of the readers ofThe Star newspaper sheweth
That levels of council tax are too high and should be reduced.
Wherefore your Petitioners pray that your Honourable House will urge the Deputy Prime Minister to reduce the levels of council tax in Buckinghamshire.
And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray, etc.
§ To lie upon the Table.
