lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I would like to draw Parliament's attention to a case of blatant discrimination that is about to take place in the county of Northamptonshire, which I and my colleague, Mr Helmer, represent. The Labour-controlled county council has decided in its wisdom to cut the number of free school bus passes it gives out. However, instead of doing this fairly and across the board, it has vindictively decided to target denominational and single-sex schools. This Labour council conducted a listening consultation exercise with parents across the county and, out of over 1 120 replies, only 17 concurred with their plans. At this point, 119 parents complained that they felt this policy amounted to either religious or sexual discrimination. Many of these parents have now decided to petition this Parliament. Mr President, through you, I ask that the Committee on Petitions investigate these complaints as soon as possible, as I am sure that no one in this House would like to see such discrimination tolerated."@en1
