One of the main things we got from INQUEST apart from the life-saving support - and I do not say that lightly, I truly don't think I would be here without them - was information. INQUEST also provided the opportunity and means to campaign against the imprisonment of children and to demand a public inquiry into Joseph's death. – Yvonne Bailey, the mother of a 16-year-old boy who died at Stoke Heath Young Offender Institution, 2002
To find out whom your MP is you can do a quick internet search:
findyourmp.parliament.uk or you can telephone the House of Commons Public Information Office: 020 7219 4272
For any other parliamentary information refer to: hcinfo@parliament.uk
Telephone – Calling up your MP with a simple question might get a faster response than writing. You will talk to a relevant officer or have to leave a message. You may also contact your MP through their local constituency office. Addresses and contact numbers are listed in local libraries, town halls, your MP’s individual website or through the House of Commons Information Office.
By letter – When writing to any MP the address to use is: House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA. A letter allows you to explain yourself more clearly and in detail and the MP will have a record of your problem.
Email – The majority of MPs now have email addresses that you can write to. www.parliament.uk has a list of all available addresses, government departments and also lists members of the House of Lords. You can also get direct e-mail access by using www.writetothem.com if you are unsure who your local councillor, MP or MEP is.
