Houses of Parliament<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

These are the\u00a0rules for writing any letter or email to your MP:<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

1\u00a0Ask your MP to ask a question<\/strong> of the minister responsible.\u00a0 This ensures you will get a reply.\u00a0 Never write to a minister direct.\u00a0 It makes your MP look redundant.\u00a0 Kill two birds with one stone.
\n2 Be precise<\/strong>.\u00a0 Do not ramble.\u00a0 State the matter in the first paragraph and make each point concisely.\u00a0 I always try to say everything on one well-spaced page.\u00a0 If you go to three pages, you have lost the game.
\n3 Be patient<\/strong>.\u00a0 Assume your MP knows nothing about the case, so explain carefully (but precisely!)
\n4\u00a0Be accurate<\/strong>.\u00a0 Do your own research or rely on a group like Christian Voice who check everything.
\n5\u00a0Be legible<\/strong>.\u00a0 If your handwriting is not up to it, type it or email and spell-check.
\n6 Be calm<\/strong>.\u00a0 No ranting and raving, no over-the-top comments, no snide remarks.
\n7 Ask your MP to agree with you<\/strong> if the occasion arises.\u00a0 This could be your question (see 1).
\n8\u00a0Keep to one subject<\/strong>.\u00a0 If two things are on your mind, write two letters, a couple of days apart.<\/p>\n

Letters<\/strong> are always written to your MP at: House of Commons, LONDON, SW1A 0AA<\/p>\n

Emails <\/strong>can also be sent.\u00a0 You need to know either your MP’s name or your Parliamentary Constituency.\u00a0 Both of these, together with email addresses may be found here on the Parliament website<\/a>.\u00a0 If you know neither your MP nor your constituency you can simply type your postcode in a box.\u00a0 In fact, that is the easiest way to get staight to his\/her contact details.<\/div>\n
