        Montp support

        Is there any way that MontP could ask scheme users (past and present) to send this letter? This is in everyone’s interest to try and get this repealed.

        Reason I say this is although CUK is a great source, it clearly does not cover everyone who used the scheme, MontP are they only ones who know who everyone is. Count of 220 letters of 3000 users is well below par.

          Sorry Guys, I should have updated the board. Sent a letter last week, no response yet to Daniel Poulter, newly elected Conservative MP in Suffolk

              Not had a reply from your MP?

              If it's over 2 weeks since you wrote to your MP and you still haven't had a reply, you may want to send this to help ram the message home.

                I have absolutely no doubt. If this proved successful, then would save Montp a lot of money.

                  Anything else we can do?

                  Hello all

                  I just wondered, if having already sent my letter to the chancellor, there's anything else I can do?

                  regards to all

                    Sent to John Redwood. He was supportive when I wrote to him first time round and is also fairly influential within the party still....we'll see!

                      With the benefit of hindsight, all users of the various schemes should have been mobilised into action when BN66 was announced in March 2008.

                      If only I knew then what I know now...

                      Let me quote to you what one MP has just replied to his constituent.

                      I have made representations to Treasury ministers who are aware of the strength of feeling on this issue as they work on the detail of an emergency Budget scheduled for 22nd June 2010.
                      It would be a real shame if Ministers didn't comprehend the true "strength of feeling" because scheme users weren't made aware of this initiative by their own promoters.
