Sarah Lawlor February 3, 2011 at 19:47: My MP – Stephen Mosley, Chester – hasnt even bothered to vote. Thanks for your support!
Weon February 3, 2011 at 19:58: My MP, Roger Williams, voted with the Coalition. Not a massive surprise (although disappointing) seeing as he’s a LibDem. We also live in Wales so it doesn’t really effect us.

Yet.
Richard Collins February 3, 2011 at 22:00: My MP, Dr Alan Whitehead. There’s been a couple of completely unrelated issues for which he has not supported my views but on this one…… Thank you so much.
JeanH February 3, 2011 at 23:12: My MP has not bothered to Vote (Mark Field)
MGB February 4, 2011 at 08:45: Thanks to Andrew Gwynne for the support.
Jon February 5, 2011 at 12:12: Had a response from my MP, Anne Mcintosh (Con) , Thirsk & Malton today. She voted with the coalition (unsurprisingly), but spoke in the debate and raised some concerns about lack of detail in terms of the level of protection, and the lack of recognition of the role that woodlands can play in protecting communities against flooding. I’m going to follow up on these concerns and ask a few more pointed questions
Lesley February 11, 2011 at 11:25: My North Shropshire MP is also SoS for NI, Owen Paterson. I emailed him (again) with questions on the sell-off and his reply (only ever by letter he doesn’t ‘do’ technology) is posted in the West Midlands section of the Forum. I didn’t see Paterson in the HoC chamber during the debate. Paterson voted yes and will continue to vote yes for the sell-off. Paterson only ever votes the Tory party line, he is in a mega safe Tory seat and has no need to listen to non-tory constituents. He is anti local eco initiatives, eg windfarms. I have also found out his personal finances are large enough meaning that like the other rich Tories he has a Blind Trust. I believe we have woodland in South Shropshire under threat of sell-off.
