Voting Records. House of Lords

Did try to convey in the Lords Hansard message that the proposed legislation
looks like an all Party matter.

There a Bishop raised the matter presumably on behalf of the JLT and the
Government were pressed for action by Conservative and Liberal Peers.

From observing proceedure over many years it seems that such a bill could
pass through "on the nod" as they say, without a vote.

However if we can influence MP's or Peers of any persuasion to table
amendments on the basis of personal freedom, consensual acts, etc., then that could
be voted on or just accepted by the sponsors of the bill.

There must be some amongst us who are educated and articulate enough to
formulate a strategy. However I suppose we will have to wait until we can read
the draft bill and see what they are actually proposing.

Yours
deno

Some of us in the research group are considering doing a lot of work to create a list of MP's and Lords who would be friendly to the cause. Is anyone else doing this already? Don't want to tread on anyones toes or duplicate effort.

If anyone is or has any ideas as to how best tackle this please let me know.

Yes, Paul - and No, Paul.

I am helping people to get directly to MP's. However, if you take the route I suggested to Morgarth, of using the Public Whip, that would help.

Let's pool resources and compare notes.

Regards,
