Hi Everyone, firstly thank you for signing my petition and showing support for greater transparency from our elected officials. we now have almost 100.000 signatures which is incredible! If this was an official government petition it would force a parliamentary debate but we had that rejected. So now instead, I'm asking once again for some help.

Can all you lovely people reach out to your local MP about this issue? www.writetothem.com will let you know your local MP and you can include your personal reasons for signing the petition.

below is a text you can copy & paste to use.

'Dear X MP,

I am one of your constituents (FULL NAME) (ADDRESS WITH POSTCODE) and I am writing to you today as I am one of over 80,000 people who have signed this petition for MPs & Lords to have to declare membership of boards of energy companies and any dividends they receive. 

I am writing today to ask two things - are you on an energy company board or receiving any financial dividend? and secondly will you raise this issue in parliament on my behalf?

Best

X'
