Is your MP in this list – mine isn’t?

The Rio+20 conference on sustainable development is happening right now (I’ve been blogging about it for the RSPB over the last 20 days).

Stop Climate Chaos produced a Rio declaration and I asked my MP, Louise Mensch to sign up.  I got a good detailed reply from Ms Mensch but I noticed that she didn’t say that she would sign up, so I emailed her again to ask her to do so.  But she hasn’t.

Well done to all the MPs on this list – perhaps particularly the 12 brave Tories.  The breakdown of the parties is as follows with their number of MPs in the Westminster parliament: Labour 42 (253); Liberal Democrat 15 (57); Conservative 12 (305), SNP 2 (6); Green 1 (1); Plaid Cymru 1 (3); SDLP 1(3).

  1. Thanks for the breakdown – I was just about to do the count myself having noticed that the party with the most MPs in Parliament (Conservative) seemed to have very few signatories.

    Sadly my MP, David Lammy, isn’t there either. I’ve emailed him to ask him to sign.

  2. Can I say congratulations Mr. Gray. I usually only get a standard Govt reply when I write so good for him that he signed this.

    1. Bob – indeed. One of the few Tories on the list – good for him (maybe he wants your vote Bob).

  3. “… I noticed that she didn’t say that she would sign up, so I emailed her again to ask her to do so. But she hasn’t.”

    Perhaps she isn’t sufficiently ovine.

  4. I emailed my Tory MP, James Gray, and had a letter back the next day. It was detailed and quite personal, but didn’t actually say that he would sign. I am pleased to see that he has now signed. Thanks James, well done.

    1. Linnet – one of many, but ministers and shadow ministers sometimes feel they shouldn’t sign up to some of these things. Having said that, it’s very good to see Ed Davey, Hilary Benn and Mary Creagh’s colleague Tom Harris on the list. I had a message from my MP’s office saying that she will sign up – and now I see that she has!
