    You may be aware that the Bill, introduced to UK Parliament last week, contains proposed legislation to protect the right to breastfeed in public. To support the Bill and its breastfeeding clauses, UNICEF UK has set up an online campaign action.

    All residents of the UK will be able to send a template email asking their MP to support the Bill (it will only take a minute).

    It is important that action is taken by Monday 11th May when the Bill will have its second reading in Parliament.

    Further information: Part of the Single Equality Bill should "Protect breastfeeding mothers. The Equality Bill will make it clear that it is unlawful to force breastfeeding mothers and their babies out of places like coffee shops, public galleries and restaurants"

    If you would like to look at the whole bill you can find it here: http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2008-09/equality.html

    It has been through the second reading in parliament (11 May 2009) but has a way to go yet.
