The Lobby of Parliament will run from 5 p.m. until 10 p.m.

It is an opportunity for anybody who wishes to go and lobby their MP in Parliament. It is better to let you MP know beforehand that you are coming, but it is not essential that you do. All you need to do is:

• go to the St. Stephen’s Entrance of the House of Commons (that’s the main entrance);
• tell the police you are part of the Heathrow lobby (the lobby has been agreed with the police)
• go to the Central Lobby and ask to see your MP

Even if your MP is onside, it is worth going to lobby him or her because part of the purpose of the exercise is to show other MPs just how much concern there is about the issue.
