Yes I have come across ORG and saw the page on MP's - I have written to
my MP numerous times in the past with positive responses, although being
an conservative minster I suspect he will "toe the line", but I will ask
him to be sure he understands the impact for himself rather then what
the home office want him to believe.

I assume I did as well, I could make my excuses but instead will just
thank you for the correction :)
I'm interested how much noise the shopping lens has caused compared to
the amount of noise about the CDB, which seems out of proportion.
May be it is just a reflection on what I read.
