You may like to contact you local MP to get him/her to sign the motion.
These motions do not (usually) get debated, and are primarily a means of MPs
creating publicity for a cause. As this is Hospital Broadcasting Week, this
is very appropriate - at the very least you can use it as an excuse to
contact your MP!Note sure who your MP is? - use the search box on the
parliament website to find out:
