- Hansard - - Excerpts

I want to present a petition on behalf of almost 300 residents of the Leicester city area.

The petition states:

The Petition of staff and parents of Nippers Nursery, Saxon House, Leicester,

Declares that on 30 November Nippers Nursery will be closed by HMRC and that the reason given is that there is a declining number of children attending; further that the Petitioners believe that this is simply not true and that Nippers Nursery is a valuable, viable and well-loved local nursery used by staff of HMRC and local parents alike.

The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges Her Majesty's Treasury to reverse the decision to close Nippers Nursery.

And the Petitioners remain, etc.
