5092 in only 6 days, is a fantastic response, thanks for everyone's efforts - so far.

My MP commented that he has not (yet) signed EDM 331, as it was a Tory one! I think this is the reason it has not taken off quite like the petition has.

EDM 331 may well have been started by the opposition, but as the wording has been supported by over 5000 people of all voting pursuasions, it can hardly now be considered as a party political EDM.
