Manchester FoE have designed a postcard to be sent to MPs asking them to sign EDM 337 and write to Huw Irranca-Davies, the Minister responsible for the Marine and Coastal Access Bill, calling on him to strengthen the legislation.
If your MP hasn’t yet signed, why not send them the postcard?
We’ve created a new set of template letters, targeted at each of the three big parties. If your MP hasn’t yet signed EDM 337, please write to them asking them to do so!
Early Day Motion 337 now has more signatures than its predecessor in the last parliamentary session, EDM1141. The great thing about this is that out of the 74 people who have signed the EDM, only 29 of them also signed EDM1141 so in theory it should be fairly easy to persuade at least 43 other MPs to sign it.
If you got your MP to sign the EDM, well done (and don’t forget to thank them!) and if you didn’t, please keep trying!
An Early Day Motion – EDM 337 – has been tabled this week calling on the Government to include Marine Reserves in the Marine Bill, as recommended by the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution (RCEP) in their 2004 report. The RCEP’s recommendation formed the basis of our Marine Reserves campaign. Already, 19 MPs have signed the EDM, which is an encouraging start.
