Just got this today. This sounds quite encouraging despite the Friday difficulty.
'Dear Mr Davies,
Thank you very much for getting in touch: my union Amicus has also lobbied me on this. The position is that it's difficult for me to be in Westminster that day due to constituency commitments, but I'll try to manage it if the Bill looks in danger of not getting the 100 supporters. Paul Farrelly is talking to government whips about getting support for it, psosible with modifications, and if he succeeds then there will be no problem. I do sympathise with the objective - ever since reading Polly Toynbee's book "Hard Work" I've realsied the problems for agency workers.
I'm always pleased to find constituents on email, as I can give them a better service. I send roughly weekly local and national news updates, not very partisan in style (the idea is to be useful rather than propagandist), and ask for feedback to help me represent constituents' views accurately. Would you like to receive them?
Yours sincerely
Nick Palmer MP (Broxtowe)'
