I emailed Glenda Jackson MP last night about the original Early Day Motion (Number 1037) on Large scale dairy units. The MP who put forward that motion was Eric Martlew, who retired at the last election, so I wanted to ensure that either that Early Day Motion was reinstated or a fresh one started.
I was very pleased to receive a call from Glenda herself this afternoon as I was driving home from work (hands free phone, honest!) and she told me that there is a new Early Day Motion (144) replacing that original one.
For those in the village of South Witham, Lincolnshire (and their supporters) who wish to try to prevent the construction of a Concentated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) or Battery Cow Factory Farm, immediately outside our village.
Thanks for this info Jeff - Ms Jackson is a wonderful woman ... and it's good to see the EDM has returned after No 10 pulled all the petitions with no warning or notice ...

No problem and thanks. She was very nice on the phone and clearly a very early and personal response to my email, was great.
