Petition presented to the House but not read on the Floor
Village Surgery in Askam, Furness
The petition of residents of Barrow and Furness,
Declares that the general practitioner (GP) provision within the village of Askam in Furness, known as "Parklands Surgery" must remain in operation after the retirement of the village's only current doctor on 30th June 2020; further that more than 1,500 local patients with limited public and private transport options are able to continue to access a GP easily and conveniently to maintain their personal health and well-being.
The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to intervene to help provide a new GP to keep Parklands Surgery open and serving local people in Askam in Furness and Ireleth.
And the petitioners remain, etc.—[Presented by Simon Fell.]

Proroguing Parliament
The petition of Residents of York,
Declares their deep concern over the proroguing of Parliament, not least during the crucial time of determining the United Kingdom's future relationship with the European Union; further that we believe that our democratically elected Parliament must have the right to set and thereby scrutinise the Government over the determinations that it is making over our future, in order to resolve democratically how it should proceed since we believe that the UK Parliament was elected by the people to serve the people.
The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government not to prorogue Parliament and that Parliament sits, debates and scrutinises the Government until a final agreement is made on how to proceed with our relationship with the EU, and that this is concluded democratically.
And the petitioners remain, etc.—[Presented byRachael Maskell.]

Windsor Gate development, High Wycombe
Hillcrest Care Home
The petition of residents of Erewash,
Declares that the planning application to convert the former Hillcrest Care Home into a house of multiple occupancy should be rejected by Erewash Borough Council, and notes the negative impact that this change of use would have on the residents of Kirk Hallam should theses plans be approved.
The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons directs the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government to urge Erewash Borough Council to reject the Hillcrest planning application and call on the developers to find an alternative, more suitable use for the site, thus reducing the impact on the residents of Kirk Hallam.
Tamworth George Bryan Centre
India in the Jammu and Kashmir Region
The petition of residents of Burnley,
Declares that the attached petition calls on the actions of India in the occupied region of Jammu and Kashmir should be resolved to a peaceful conclusion that is acceptable to the residents of Kashmir; notes that the Indian decision to revoke Article 370 and 35A of the Indian Constitution has caused killings and human rights violations in Indian occupied Kashmir; further that the communications blackout in Indian occupied Kashmir has been distressing for residents with families in the region and has stifled journalism on the issue; and further that concerned residents of Burnley many of whom have family in the area have self-organised to create a petition that has received over 1046 signatures to call for action on the issue.
The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to compel the Foreign Secretary to call for an end to the communications lockdown, lifting the curfew and the compliance of all past United Nations resolutions relating to Kashmir by the State of India.
