We know that when MPs are contacted by their constituents they are much more likely to take action so if you have the time, we would be so grateful if you could write to your MP to ask them to attend the debate. You can use the template email below – please do amend the template in any way you want to.
Template letter to your MP:
Dear [MP name],
As someone who’s been impacted by the infected blood scandal and as your constituent, I wanted to write to ask if you would attend the Backbench Business Debate in the Chamber in the afternoon of 18th June?
[If you feel comfortable, explain how you’ve been impacted by the scandal]
It would mean a great deal to me if you could attend and raise the issues I’ve been having with the scheme. [Please write what you want them to raise on your behalf]
I look forward to hearing from you,
[Your name]
[Your address – your MP won’t reply if they don’t know that you are definitely a constituent]
