    At least it's up to 31 now. Mostly SNP but a couple more Labour have signed it.

    Perhaps all those writing to their MPs regarding this might want to point out the fact that more SNP members seem to be concerned about this than English MPs, when this is far more of an English problem since we gave short shrift to clampers up here.

    'Thankyou for this holding response, Ingram.

    Better late than never, but not too late, please! - I do need a full response to all points raised in my letter before this EDM closes.

    This evening, I see 32 signatories, of whom only one is a Conservative:

    Bottomley, Peter Conservative Party
    Worthing West 17.09.2015
    Perhaps Mr Bottomley could help Lucy understand why she should sign?

    My thanks again,
    &

    Sorry but you've totally lost me. On that website the count says 31 and there are 31 names listed. (I did count them).

    Anyone saying they're going to sign but having not yet signed, hasn't, well, signed. :)

    SNP = 22
    Plaid = 1
    Lab = 4
    Indy = 1
    Green = 1
    DUP = 1
    Con = 1

    Total = 31
  • Still only 35 signatories! :-(

    Green = 1 indicates that my MP is in.
