CONTACTS AND ADDRESSES TO WRITE TO ABOUT RSI
Please find below the contacts that I promised some time ago. Politics is not my strong point and it�s taken me some time to understand the set up of Government (didn�t realise there were so many different departments, committees and sub-committees), which is why it has taken me some time.
I have tried to include those individuals that should have an interest in RSI, from one point or another, but also those that may not be directly linked, but who have a personal interest. I have also tried to get a cross-section of the 3 main political parties, apologies to those on the list in Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Where an individual has specific interests, these are noted in brackets.
If you wish to check any details, or find out your own MP or MEP, I have used the following websites:
www.epolitix.com, the-commons.com,
www.europarl.eu.int, www.parliament.uk.

You can also try your own MP and MEP. It seems that there�s more going on in Europe. We need to find out what and ask why we aren�t keeping up in this country.
