How to Write to Your MP
1. Identify Yourself as a Constituent
Always include your full name and address to confirm you are a constituent. MPs prioritise correspondence from people in their constituency.
2. Be Clear and Specific
Clearly state the issue you are raising, any relevant legislation (such as the Equality Act 2010), and what action you would like your MP to take.
3. Include Supporting Evidence
Where appropriate, reference specific cases, reports, or evidence that supports your position. This strengthens your request.
4. Request a Specific Action
Ask your MP to take specific action, such as raising a question in Parliament, writing to a minister, or supporting a particular amendment.
