Lords can be contacted through the http://www.theyworkforyou.com/ as an email but I believe they are not obliged to hold email accounts and in my experience contacting them this way they do not reply. Quite befittingly they needed to be contacted in the old fashioned way.Dear All A happy new year from Keep Cornwall Whole! In case you’re wondering why you haven’t heard much from us recently, it’s because there hasn’t been so much to tell: the bill is currently in the House of Lords being considered line by line (sometimes words by word!). Robin Teverson, who is very kindly leading the efforts in the Lords, reports that it is difficult to predict when the ‘Cornish’ part of the bill will be reached, but that the going is currently slow and there are a number of other things to be discussed first. However you can still help. Before Christmas Jane Howells organised the printing of over 5000 Keep Cornwall Whole campaign postcards: many of these have been distributed around Cornwall but she still has over 1000 left. The idea is that everyone - individuals, councils and organisations – writes a brief message on the back and posts them to key figures connected with the bill: Lord Strathclyde Leader of the House of Lords Lord McNally Deputy Leader of the House of Lords Lord Wallace Attorney General for Scotland all House of Lords London SW1A 0AA And Rt. Hon David Cameron MP Prime Minister Rt. Hon Nick Clegg MP Deputy Prime Minister both House of Commons London SW1A 0AA You can get postcards from Jane. We can post a few at a time or if you need more than a few we will try to arrange to get them to you somehow The Lords has passed one amendment to the bill already – in connection with the referendum date – so there is clearly a chance of further amendment. The bill will now have to go back to the MPs for further consideration, so let’s keep up the pressure to send it back with a Cornish amendment too! Andrew George also secured a debate on the Bill in the House of Commons which took place yesterday, and he writes about this here: http://tinyurl.com/4kw86h9 Yours, Adam Convenor, Keep Cornwall Whole http://twitter.com/Cornwall_Whole

A message from Keep Cornwall Whole
Last night, whilst I was burning the midnight oil pleading with my readers to write and kick up a fuss about Devonwall (Devonwall let's keep up the pressure) I receieved an email from the Keep Cornwall Whole team convener Adam Killeya, which was along the same lines of what I was saying. I did however neglect to mention about writing to the Lords where the bill is at the moment passing through. So I have copied and pasted below the message ( apologies if you're already on their mailing list and have already read this.) To contact Keep Cornwall Whole their email address is info@keepcornwallwhole.org and there is lots more information on their website http://keepcornwallwhole.org/
