LAST YEAR I submitted a letter urging the Government to publish closed information held by the National Archives for more than 70 years about Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME).

Since the resumption of online petitions on the Number10.gov.uk website, it has been mooted that this coalition Government might debate the more serious issues that attract, say, 100,000 signatures.

We have a petition running at http://tinyurl.com/2wtp26d and I urge anyone affected by ME to add their name and any comments they wish, to see if we can reach this number.

Otherwise, only those with exceptionally advanced reading skills, with normal life expectancy, or those destined to live beyond 100-years-old may learn the secret and whether it might have made a significant difference.
