This is very worrying news. Could I suggest one minor change: that you suggest people write to their MP and not the Secretary of State? I have worked in the offices of a Minister and of a Secretary of State, as the temp who opened the mail, and I can tell you that that letters from the public go into the “less important” pile to be answered by (often junior) civil servants, whilst letters from MPs (including those covering letters from their constituents) have to be answered by the Minister personally. In practice it is still the civil servant who drafts the letter, but the fact that the Minister has to read and sign it would, I think, have more impact.
