MP surgeries to go online

Edinburgh West Liberal Democrat MP Mike Crockart is to start holding “e-surgeries” to deal with concerns of his 
constituents.

From the end of next month, people will be able to book an appointment and chat to Mr Crockart using Skype.

He said: “I know people are busy and often can’t make it along to my surgeries. I want to be as accessible as possible for people who wish to let me now their views and for people who need my help.”
