Passion For Life.

Here is the Hansard link for the debate on Fatherhood.  The Passion for Life campaign believed we would come closer to winning this vote, but unfortunately it was lost by a margin of 75.

See below how your MP voted on keeping the need for a Father (Ian Duncan Smiths amendment).  If you agree with their vote, please write and tell them.  If you don't, again please let them know...
