The Big Ask - Big Autumn Push
1 October 2007

Local campaigners have been busy over the last few months. Whether dressed as mermaids or penguins - or organising public meetings and street stalls - they have been taking action on The Big Ask.

Mermaids were on the streets of Sheffield to encourage people to ask their MP for a strong Climate Change Bill.

Next steps

In November, MPs will vote on the Climate Change Bill in the House of Commons. It will then move on to the next stage when a Committee will discuss the Bill line by line.

It is vital that all MPs, especially from the Labour Party, show their support for a strong Climate Change Bill as it progresses through Parliament.
