Sir Peter Soulsby MP has been successful in getting adjournment debate
on waterways funding in Westminster Hall from 2.30pm to 4pm on Wednesday
8th November. Please write to and or e-mail your MP asking her or him to
attend.
In an adjournment debate, the Minister responsible (Barry Gardiner in
this case) has to respond to the points put by the person calling the
debate. They used to take place after the business for the day had been
adjourned hence he name. Now that happens AND there are day time ones in
Westminster Hall. The parliamentary website does a better job of
explaining! It's another and very powerful lobbying tool - the Minister
has to answer questions in public from his colleagues and the civil
servants have to research those answers
This a major opportunity. Sir Peter is well informed about the
waterways and it is essential that we persuade as many MPs
as possible to attend the meeting.
Note the short lead time. So please write to you MP about this
and urge him/her to attend.
This has come about because of the pressure we have all been
exerting; now is the time to push again!
