MSPs and Equal Pay

I've received a response from one of the five South Lanarkshire MSPs - in response to my recent e-mail on Freedom of Information.

See post dated 9 May 2011 - 'MSPs and Equal Pay'.

The first person to respond is James Kelly - MSP for Rutherglen - who says that he can only take the matter up on behalf of local constituents - who live in the Rutherglen area.

Which is fair enough - though I seem to recall MSPs in the past having views on all kinds of thing unconnected with local post codes - including the war in Iraq.

But why get picky when someone is offering to help - assuming it's a real offer of help, of course ?

So any readers in the Rutherglen area - who have something to say to James Kelly MSP - about:

South Lanarkshire Council
Freedom of Information
Equal Pay

Can contact him at the following e-mail address:

James.Kelly.msp@scottish.parliament.uk

Here's what I said to the MSP in my response - which is addressed to Martin you will note - because Martin works in the James Kelly's constituency office.

"Dear Martin

Freedom of Information - South Lanarkshire Council

I am not a resident of Rutherglen, sadly - but I will let readers of the Action 4 Equality Scotland blog site know that James Kelly is prepared to take the matter up - on behalf of local constituents.

Let's hope the local council listens to the views of one of its local Labour MSPs.

Kind regards.

Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn't... P
