EDMs & Private Members' Bills
It may be useful to let you know about some of the things I am asked about most - ie EDMs Private Members' Bills and 10 Minute Rule Bills.
These days any campaign group worthy of the name seems to feel the need to get an EDM down in Parliament and then call its supporters to ask their MP to sign it. The article I have written linked below will give you some insights into this practice.
I am also asked to back Private Members' Bills. Again I have written an article into this parctice, which you may find useful.
