Tips
As a general rule, the more effort you put in the better. So a letter will get a better reception than an email. Writing a letter yourself is better than using one that has been mass produced by an organisation. Anything is better than nothing!
Use your MP. If you write to Jack Straw (for example) he will not reply, and if you do get a reply it is likely to be from a civil servant. Your MP, on the other hand, has a duty to listen to you, as a constituent. If they then raise the issue with Straw, it is much more likely to get a proper response. In addition of course, you have now made two people aware of the issue.
How to contact your MP
| Write |
Address: House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA
Make sure that their name is clear, so that it gets to its destination!
Put your address on it so that they can reply, and so that they realise that it is genuine - you are a constituent. |
| Telephone |
To speak to your MP at the House of Commons, call the switchboard (020 7219 3000) and ask to be transferred to the MPs office. If you have already made contact with them, and you want them to have the paperwork at the ready, then probably a good idea to warn them first. |
| E-Mail |
Some MPs have email, but most do not. Check the next section to find out whether yours does. As a rule you have to send your email using a feedback form type window, rather than actually getting an email address. |
