Seeing as there is a general election comming up in just over a month, it's probably the best time to ask MP's or budding MP's akward questions about this. They will all be out on the streets campaigning for votes, answering questions and kissing babies, and fairly easy to get at.
Can we mere PPRuNe's get this question asked to the right people. One good place would be one of the late evening 'Question Time' for MP's shows on TV etc ..
