UK: Short, simple letter to your MP to ask them to attend the Carol Monaghan PACE debate on 20 Feb

Have written to my MP. She is very busy - she's one of the really hard working ones - so doubt she'll be able to attend, but at least I've done my best! She will be sick of getting emails from me - seem to write to her half a dozen times a year at least! She really is great though, and either gets back via email or by post.

Maybe she could delegate someone else from her office, to attend and report back?

There were two email addies for her, I assume the second is probably her researcher (wrote to both). But I'm not sure if others can attend - these things are for MPs only? OK, yes, public may get in to some of these things, but suspect not much space. So I don't know if her researcher can attend to report back. Will just have to wait and see!
 
Have written to my MP who is unable to attend. He is sympathetic however and has advised me to follow up with him depending on what comes out of the debate which I will do.

Good advice on how to use the Parliamentary process to address issues that were not raised, reinforce any positives that emerged and correct any mistakes of fact. The aim should be to get individual MPs to write to the Minister with the aim of moving our issue forward. Even MPs of the unsympathetic variety can be asked to do that.

Just emailed mine (via www.writetothem.com ) who wont go as in cabinet, to ask him to encourage other Mps to go.
Worth a go!
 
Is anyone here from Laura Pidcock MP's Durham North West constituency?

Is anyone here here from Debbie Abraham's Oldham and Saddleworth constituency? She is critical of DWP and is currently shadow DWP minister. If the current government falls it would be interesting to have her views on this before she becomes DWP minister and whether she could defend PACE. She also has a public health background.

It would be helpful to have these two critics of current DWP policy attend the PACE debate.

Well! I have now had a reply from my MP who is unable to attend but is 'interested'. I have replied suggesting it might be worth chatting by phone in the first instance.....

Can you get him to commit to writing to Jeremy Hunt about issues you choose to highlight after tomorrow's debate? My MP has suggested I read the debate in Hansard and write to him to pick up any issues I think need taking further or challenging.

I will assess what can be done when / if I do indeed speak to 'her'.
