Get your MP to attend a special debate on the family migration rules!
Hi *|TITLE:FNAME|*,
Great news! Growing concern about the impacts of the new family migration rules has led to the scheduling of a special parliamentary debate for MPs next Wednesday 19 June, from 2:30pm to 4pm.
Both the Immigration Minister and the Shadow Immigration Minister will be required to attend.
We hope that all MPs who are concerned about the rules will agree to attend and have a proper debate about these rules.
Write to your MP today and ask them to attend the Westminster Hall Debate next Wednesday. .
Personal letters to MPs, particularly if you have had direct experience of the rules, are always most effective. If easier, you can use the below template as a starting point. If your MP agrees to attend then please let the APPG on Migration (a.olad@migrantsrights.org.uk). It will help other MPs attending if we can let them know who else is turning up.

Family Migration Rules: Request to attend Westminster Hall Debate
Date: Wednesday, 19th June 2013
Time: 14:30 - 16:00
Venue: Grand Committee Room, House of Commons
As your constituent, I am writing to ask you to attend the Westminster Hall Debate on the impacts of the new family migration rules, which will be held next Wednesday afternoon. This debate follows the launch of a new report by the All Party Parliamentary Group on Migration, which detailed the emerging impacts of the rules on a wide range of British citizens since last July. The report can be downloaded here (http://www.appgmigration.org.uk/family-inquiry).
If you cannot attend the debate and raise my concerns, I hope you will agree to write directly to the Immigration Minister, Mark Harper MP, reporting that this issue has been raised by your constituents.
Thank you very much for your time and I earnestly await your reply.
