and if possible write to your local MP

 

interestingly I have just done that but what I got in the automated response surprised me

If you are asking me to attend or speak in a debate, as a Minister I do not participate in these debates but I will endeavour to find out about the issue and will wait till after the debate before replying, so that I can provide you information from what the Government Minister said in the debate.
