Prayers – in the House of Commons am 12:00 am ar 13 Hydref 1969.
This humble Petition which I seek to present to the House comes from 1,117 farmers and landowners in my constituency in the County of Montgomery. Its Prayer is that this honourable House should not approve the proposal to establish a rural development board in the designated part of Montgomeryshire. The signatories of the Petition represent over 90 per cent. of the farmers and landowners affected by the proposal. The Petitioners object to the Board and say it is in no way justified; nor was there any evidence at the public inquiry that justified the imposition of such a board.
