Justice Week Lobby of Parliament - Wednesday 10 December

As part of Justice Week, all the justice unions are planning a mass lobby of parliament on Wednesday 10 December. Labour backbench MPs have now booked 3 rooms in the House of Commons to accommodate lobbyists. Together they will take up to 400 people.

The trade unions will be inviting scores of speakers to address lobbyists, including MPs and Peers from all Parties, pressure groups, academics and others who support the principles behind Justice Week. Representatives from the Police Federation will also be invited to speak at the meetings. The unions will organise rotas to ensure that all attendees will be able to listen to the debate. It is essential that as many MPs as possible are lobbied. Details will follow on the Green Card system used to make appointments.

In the meantime, Napo is asking members to write to their own MP as soon as possible to tell them about Justice Week. Find a model letter to amend and email your MP from here. Simply type in your postcode.
