Early Day Motion 179, “Software In Schools”, now has 64 signatures, and counting. That’s approximately 10% of those eligible to sign it. I’m very pleased to note that my local MP, Joan Walley, has put her name on the list. And here’s a nice little quote from her:
“I believe that this software is highly beneficial and one of the most valuable developments of recent years.”
Even allowing for a certain degree of telling us what we want to hear, that statement’s pretty black and white and I am pretty chuffed.

My MP hasn’t signed the EDM yet. I did get a response basically saying “it’s not possible to sign EDMs while the house of commons is in recess, but I’ll have a look when we’re back”. Here’s to hoping. I actually came across this entry by chance when searching for “edm179″, so here’s the URL to the EDM online: http://edmi.parliament.uk/EDMi/EDMDetails.aspx?EDMID=31752&SESSION=885

My MP (Gerald Kaufman) signed the EDM. Success!
