Order. Will hon. Members who are not staying to hear the petition please leave quickly and quietly?

The petition of 700 residents of Halifax declares that Inspector Gareth Perrett and PC Richard Perrett were found not guilty at Manchester Crown Court in February 1999 over an alleged incident on an aircraft in February 1998. They have since faced an internal discipline tribunal which has found them guilty, and required them to resign, therefore losing their careers and livelihoods. This is unfair. The petitioners therefore request the House of Commons to urge the Home Secretary to revisit their case.

And the Petitioners remain etc.

To lie upon the Table.
