While it is deeply disappointing that MPs approved the bill in principle, many are still worried about the details of this bill. We need to lobby MPs to properly consider the detail, and vote the bill down at third reading.

It is still possible to defeat this bill, but it will require a number of MPs changing their vote. This means we need to keep up a polite and constructive relationship with our MPs, even if we are upset about how they voted.

We also need to encourage those MPs who voted with us to stay strong in their opposition.

Please contact your MP using the tool on our website. The tool will tell you which way your MP voted, and provides an appropriate template. If your MP voted against, it is important to thank them and urge them to keep up their opposition. If they voted in favour or abstained, they need to be politely urged to examine the problems of this bill in detail and vote it down.
