Letter from my MP
A few weeks ago I wrote to Maggie Throup, asking if she could find out about the compensation paid by the French Government, to the UK Government for the mistreatment of UK MN personnel in1947.
I received a letter today, stating that she has made some enquires and as soon as she has further information she will contact me.

Re: Letter from my MP
Many thanks for that Vic,
We may get to the Truth at last, Corbyn and all his gang didn't want to know about it.

Re: Letter from my MP
So hopefully we can get some answers and if we leave party politics out of it we may get somewhere.#2 Ref: party politics Lewis.
No Party politics in that post Lewis, only Corbyn`s name and his associates, Miliband and McDonnell who I wrote to Eight times and No Response
They had their chance to respond. only because it was their party that was involved.

Re: Letter from my MP
Brian as a matter of interest you can only write and expect a reply from the MP who's constituency you are in.

Re: Letter from my MP
In the 35 years I have lived in this house we have been in 3 different constituencies Havant then Hampshire East followed by Meon Valley which is one of the currently threatened constituencies which will disappear under the next reforms it is only since we've been Meon Valley that we have a decent MP that actually reply to you and listens the others used to give you an acknowledgement and the runaround they've all been from the Conservative Party so I don't think party politics entered into it I think the ability to answer a letter and do something about it does

Re: Letter from my MP
Letter to your MP? Is this a joke? I would not waste a minute of my time. Last one I remember was an Esther McVey who was as much use as a pork chop in a synagogue. Did absolutely nothing for the constituency she was representing at the time. Understand she is representing Tatton now.

Re: Letter from my MP
Jim, if you contact your MP by email, then it dos ask if you are a member of their constituency.
Contacting Cabinet Members, anyone can contact them.
