GREENPEACE'S EMAIL CAMPAIGN ON HEATHROW

Early day motion 587, tabled 26 January 2009 by Nick Palmer (Labour). Signed by 26 members.

That this House notes that a campaign by Greenpeace sent around 7,000 largely identical emails to hon. Members who had signed an Early Day Motion about Heathrow; observes that this caused some hon. Members' mailboxes to become unavailable to constituents who wished to discuss this or other issues or personal problems; further notes that a request to discontinue was not accepted unless hon. Members were willing to commit to vote as the organisation wished; and believes that denial of email service by mass spam is an inappropriate and unpersuasive tactic.

Signatures by party: Labour 21, Independent 2, Conservative 1, Liberal Democrat 1, Scottish National Party 1.
