I've contacted my MPs parliamentary secretary to ask if he's going and copied in CM's piece from Politics Today.

Plus contacted his senior advisor with the above plus estimate of how many constituents could be affected and the economic cost to UK annually. Fingers crossed.

How do you find out who your MPs parliamentary secretary and senior advisor are and their contact details?

 

[janice]

I had a face to face conversation with them earlier in the year to try to raise their awareness about my experiences over the years from NHS and DWP.

Unfortunately I've heard today that neither are available to attend.

In the Jubilee café waiting for the debate upstairs. Managed to get here.

 

[AR68]

Not that I'm following him (!) but Charles Shepherd is a few feet away from me so he's here.

 

[AR68]

We're being allowed in at 13:25. We're queuing outside the room.

 

[AR68]

I won't write too much during the session (because you'll no doubt be watching it online) but might chip in with observations here and there.

 

[Esther12]

Think I'll be too nervous to watch live, so will wait for the transcript. Really hope it's more of a hammering of PACE (and the failure to respond properly to critics) than an exercise in sympathetic but vague 'awareness raising'.

 

[AR68]

Monaghan has just entered.

 

[AR68]

Going in.

 

[AR68]

Sat down. I'm in a white top. Meeting starts.

I can see on the video Charles Shepherd and @Jonathan Edwards sitting next to each other in the audience.
