Phil,
We have already written to our MP, Oliver Letwin, who provided us with a copy of a letter he sent to Alastair Darling. The wheels are already in motion on the petition and my colleague Julian was dealing with Paul King last week on this. He was dealing direct with the Treasury who may need more pressure to reconsider.

Nick,
Great post. There’s going to be some more coverage on this in tomorrow’s Building. I think some steps need to be taken in terms of lobbying on this.
Couple of suggestions:
You could start an online petition on the Number 10 website http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/
Or perhaps this is a mission for the UK Green Building Council? If the group’s mission it to campaign and to tell Government when it’s doing something wrong this would seem the perfect opportunity for the UKGBC to show its worth.
