John,

I have sent a version of your letter to my MP, John Glenn, now a minister of state in the Treasury.
I'll get a reply, but the more of us that write the better.

John, there is a bloke called Dave who lives up the road from me in Chipping Norton, he is apparently a dab hand at lobbying MPs, if you have a few million spare, I can have a word?

He gives Dave's a bad name.

Reply from my MP:


GLEN, John

to me

Dear Peter,

Thank you for taking the time to contact me in light of the recent MOT changes.

I appreciate that the change in regulations seems illogical to you and can understand that for cars like your own that have not substantially changed, these changes seems unnecessary.

While as a minister I do not ask questions, I am happy to forward your email to the Department of Transport. As soon as I receive a reply from them for you, I will send it on to you.


Very best,


John



I'll post the response from the DOT.
