CAMPAIGN FOR FREE MILK TOKENS

After Staffordshire Buddies wrote to local politicians, here's what they had to say about Staffordshire Buddies joining with Child Poverty Action Group and the BMA to campaign for free milk tokens to be provided to all Asylum Seeker mothers, regardless of HIV status:

"It's vital that we extend this fundamental provision…to this extremely vulnerable group" Paul Farrelly MP Newcastle-under-Lyme

"This is an extremely important issue, one that I am aware you are currently facing and looking to find a creative solution for locally" George Stevenson MP Stoke South

"I have signed the Early Day Motion…if I can be of any further assistance…please let me know" Janet Dean MP Burton

"Thank you for your letter…(I) support your campaign"
Sir Patrick Cormack MP South Staffordshire

"As a Parliamentary Private Secretary…I am asked not to sign EDM's…however, I am grateful to you for raising your concerns with me" Charlotte Atkins MP Staffordshire Moorlands

Positive Lives is encouraged by the responses received and we'll keep you informed in future issues as to the outcome of this campaign
