Have you written to your MP yet?

but if they are busy doing that it might stop them coming up with any new bright ideas?

Indeed. If every contractor wrote to HMRC requesting all their data held every 40 days then that would make them think again.

Wrote to my MP at the weekend. Not sure if it will do much good as she is a parachuted in Tory MP newly elected this year.

On a brighter note I heard a story that current ClientCo is making representations against this as well. A lot of their business is for people in blue (or green) uniforms, and need to use contractors because of the very variable workload and their very specialised knowledge.

Unfortunately there is a limit on how often they have to give you the data.

If it is Lucy Allen I would send her a letter and ask her on twitter too

That's good - I hope lots of clients will do that.

Mine is back in London because she spoke in the HoC twice this week - so she's there and should have seen the letter.

I'll leave it until middle of next week and then give her a ring.

Still now't from mine.

Got an e-mail today with an appointment to go and see mine, but I can't make it

Will ask for a different time instead

Ironically I think this is from the email asking to see her when this first started kicking off in July
