The Prime Minister has asked me to thank you for your recent letter.
He was pleaseed that you felt able to write and has asked that a careful note be made of your comments.

Yours sincerely,

Thank you for writing to David Cameron - I'm replying on his behalf. I'm sorry for the long delay in my reply, as I am sure you can appreciate there has been a massive increase in the volume of correspondence coming into the office since David Cameron became Party Leader.
Thank you for your email. I have ensured that our Home Affairs team have these details for their consideration and thank you again for writing.
Yours sincerely,
David Beal
Correspondence Secretary

Response from the Liberal Democrat Party Leader Sir Menzies Campbell

"....As you are aware, these reforms are being progressed via a negative order which means the Government's proposals will not be debated on the floor of the House or in Committee. The Liberal Democrats have prayed against the order which should require the Government to allow a debate on the above changes. I hope you find this response reassuring."

Mr Damian Green MP has agreed that the retrospective nature of these changes is unjust and conservatives will be opposing this element of the changes.
Response from the Liberal Democrat Party Shadow Home Secretary Nick Clegg MP

Thank you for contacting me regarding the changes to immigration rules (House of Commons Paper 974, replaced by HC1016) including changes to the qualifying period for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR).
I am concerned that this situation is unfair to those already in this country who have made plans on the reasonable assumption that the qualifying period would not change, and unnecessarily prejudices those skilled immigrants who contribute significantly to this country and its economy. We feel that the Home Office has not given sufficient notice of these changes and that if they were justified; they should apply only to those entering the country now, and not retrospectively.
To this end we have laid a motion against these changes which we hope to debate in committee before the deadline as stipulated by parliamentary procedure (we anticipate this will be in the next month).
I will write to you again when the outcome of the committee is known.
Thank you for raising this vital issue with me.
Yours sincerely
Sent on behalf of Nick Clegg MP

"I too am concerned that this situation is unfair to those already in this country who have made plans on reasonable assumption that the qualifying period would not change...Myself and Liberal Democrat colleagues also strongly agree with you that the HO has not given sufficient notice of these changes and that, if they were justified, they should apply only to those entering the country now, and not retrospectively.
To this end LD have laid a motion against these changes, which we hope to debate in committee before the deadline as stipulated by parliamentary procedure (we anticipate this will be next month) and I will be sure to write to you again when the outcome of the committee is known. I shall also be signing the EDM tabled by Sir Menzies Campbell on this topic...11 of my LD colleagues have already added their names to EDM (number 1992)..."
thanks for informing, mate. i've updated my table accordingly. but the reply you've got does look like a computer-generated acknowledgement. you'd better talk to him directly and good luck.gaurav wrote:As the reply was quiet weird and absurd ,I have written again to him and requested for a personal appointment. I would like you guys to give me some input on how I can use this meeting effectively.

I think this is the right place for it. Apologies for the repetation.
I received a reply today from my MP Mr.Ed Vaizey (MP for Wantage, Oxfordshire - Conservative).
Below is the exact text from the letter..
Many Thanks for your email. I agree with the points your make and have written to the Home secretary on your behalf asking for his comments on the queries you raise.
I have not signed EDMs 1992 and 1912 as I am finding out more about them before I do so.
Yours Sincerely,
