The need for legislation to secure the end of child detention in immigration removal centres

Child Detention for immigration purposes has ended - but it is a policy that could be changed by a different incoming government. It must be put into legislation to stop this happening, so PLEASE contact your MP, whatever party they belong to, as soon as possible asking for their support to this non party political event. Below is a draft letter you can send, and obviously amend it accordingly, especially if you cannot be there on November 28th. Probably easiest to copy and paste into an e-mail and follow it up with a phone call. Let us know the response that you get.
