On a different tack completely, does anyone have any views on the number of written questions that are being asked about things closing/opening/starting/stopping/etc since 1997. It is difficult to see this as anything other than an attempt to find things to put in his leaflets and would seem to be a bit of an abuse of his position. I've no doubt that all MPs do it, but I'd really rather he wrote a reply to my letter (yes - no reply since 13th January), or was supporting his constituents. Perhaps I'm wrong - is he actually helping constituents by finding out how many buses have stopped running?
