Following the election and change of government, my local MP has been
appointed a Minister of State for Defence. One side-effect of this is
that my TWFY email alert for him now contains primarily links to his
written answers relating to defence procurement. There are two problems
with this:
1. I though I was signing up to get an alert when my MP *speaks* in
parliament (and, indeed, that's what it says on the "My current email
alerts" page - it says the criteria are "spoken by Peter Luff"). Written
responses shouldn't be included in that, surely?
2. I'm not all that interested in defence matters - what I want to know
about is how well my MP is performing as a constituency MP, and what he
says in debates rather than merely giving statements on behalf of his
department.
It would be nice, therefore, to have a bit more customisation over what
alerts I get. In particular, I'd like to be able to exclude written
answers completely from the regular alert so that I really only do get
alerted to spoken contributions. Secondly (although less importantly),
I'd like the alerts to distinguish between when my MP is speaking on his
own behalf and when he's speaking from the dispatch box (ie, when he's
speaking on behalf of the government).
Are either of those likely to be implementable in the not-too-distant
future?
