Hi Robert

Thanks for bringing this to the attention of the list. I've been
following some of the developments via Glen Moody and the Open Rights
Group. I'm glad you've reminded me that I should contact my MP
(actually I meant to do it months ago). As far as I'm aware the bill
is currently in the Lords? What can I actually ask my MP to do; should
I be asking them to vote against it or for particular amendments when
it get back to the house of commons (assuming it does go back to the
commons, my knowledge is a bit shakey at this point)?

FWIW, the ORG have a really good guide about contacting your MP and
some key points to include:
