A number of MPs are aware and they are watching the progress of this with interest....
Getting 10,000 signatures to trigger a formal parliamentary response is a realistic expectation and will give the GAAC and others a strong mandate to push the Department for Communities and Local Government to make a change in policy.
700+ signatories in the first six hours
is looking pretty good so far, and flying organisations including the GAAC, AOPA, BGA, BMAA and LAA are all combining forces to contact their members and suggest signing.

It only takes a moment.
If you have a moment longer to spare, you could also drop your MP an e-mail, tell them you have signed and explain why.
