On Wednesday 20th October, MPs voted on Amendment 45 of the Environment Bill, which would force UK water companies to reduce sewage pollution every year until it is eliminated.
Unfortunately, MPs voted by 265 to 202 against the amendment, with 265 Conservatives rejecting it and only 22 voting in favour. However, we have been given a second chance.
The amendment will return for a SECOND vote in the House of Commons on Wednesday 27th October and this time we are determined to win. So, we must ask for your help one final time.
Although we lost by 63 votes, 85 MPs were absent from the chamber or abstained. If we can convince these MPs to support us and a few more to change their minds, there is a genuine chance we can win this vote.
By now, you probably know what we need you to do...
1) Pick an MP (or several MPs) from the list below whose surname begins with the same letter as your own.
2) E-Mail them asking them to "Vote in favour of Amendment 45 of the Environment Bill on Wednesday 27th October"
3) Include your name and address
4) Ask as many friends and family members as you can to do the same
Additionally, if you want to check whether your MP voted against ending sewage pollution so you can ask them to change their mind, the full list can be found by clicking on this link.
Thank you all and here's to cleaner seas.
