Writing to an MP protocol!?

[DueyCheatemAndHow]

I'm writing to my MP about an issue that I think needs attention. But I don't know what to ask him to 'do'.

I've outlined what I think is a problem and I've said what in my opinion needs to happen. But what do I need to say to him? Do I just ask for his consideration of the matter?

Thank you!

I write to my Mp fairly regularly on a number of matters it very much depends on the issue what is in his power to do.

Sometimes there is due to be a debate on the matter or even a vote and you can ask them to take a particular stance in that or ask them what stance they plan to take.

Or if it's a more individual thing you can ask them to approach the relevant dept on your behalf (I've done this with cm issues, lack of support from nhs issues) and it can light a fire under folk which can be very useful

Or you may simply want to discuss how you feel on a topic and that is ok too.

Hard to say as your op is fairly vague

Does he have power to resolve the problem? Is he a conservative MP? That may affect what the 'ask' is.

Thank you!

It's a national matter rather than a 'the stinging nettles on the path are out of control.
I'm basically saying I think there needs to be a serious review of social care and policing in relation to vulnerable children following the 2 very high profile murder cases this week.

Are you in England? I think all you can ask is if he would support such a review and perhaps could write the appropriate minister.
