I have read that government whips , which our MP is, have 'grey books'.
The practice of keeping 'grey books' began in the time of Edward Heath and has continued ever since.
The grey book contains personal info about individual politicians which is used in a threatening manner in order that they will 'toe the party line' rather than risk that info being made public. i.e. blackmail.
During this current rallying of MPs to support the demand for a child abuse enquiry, I have noticed that our MP has not given his support.
Peruse this list - his name isn't on it.

It appears that his duties as labour whip are affecting any moral stance he may have on the topic.
I would like him to say why he doesn't back a government enquiry into child abuse.
