Response to Mike Hancock MP leads a parliamentary campaign against the mortgage shortfall 'debt' scandal

Oh dear, Philip, if this had been my MP I would have felt tempted - even compelled - to say who it was. Fancy having an MP who is so contemptuous of parliamentary process! As it happens, EDMs can have a powerful effect by highlighting injustices and reinforcing action. So, EDM 155, 'Charging for Criminal Records of Volunteers', has just led to a U-turn by the government on the issue of the £10 charge, as you'll know if you read your broadsheets. As for your MP's second point, Mike Hancock's EDM is not about the time limit (that was Geraint Davies' EDM); Mike Hancock's EDM focuses on the lenders' reluctance to subtantiate their claims with documentary proof, and the under-valuing, under-marketing and under-selling of properties, as stated in the lead post above.
