Westminster Hall Debate on ME: Wednesday 19 November
Help us pack Westminster Hall!
Dear subscribers,
In a break from our usual schedule, we wanted to let you know about a Westminster Hall Debate, focused on government support for ME, which will be taking place next Wednesday 19 November from 16:30-17:30. And we need your help!
The debate has been tabled by Lib Dem #ThereForMP extraordinaire Tessa Munt. Westminster Hall debates are a key way for backbench MPs to raise an issue and receive a government response. They take place away from the House of Commons main chamber and provide a way for MPs to engage on issues they care about. A packed Westminster Hall debate can be a strong sign to the government about levels of parliamentary support on an issue. And with the recent Final Delivery Plan publication, there’s no time like the present to talk about what comes next.
You can help by writing to your MP to let them know about the debate and ask them to speak on your behalf. We’ve got a template here that you can use to write to your MP - although the more you can personalise it, the more likely it is that your MP will take notice.
Let’s pack Westminster Hall!
I've written to my MP for Cambridge, Daniel Zeichner: https://members.parliament.uk/member/4382/contact
Done, although I remember writing to my MP last September (2024) and only heard back from them in July THIS year (2025), so I don't hold out much hope this time...
It was re: supporting Action for ME’s pledges on ME and working with the charity to improve the experience of constituents living with and affected by the condition.
