1. Your details
2. What matters to you
3. Review and edit
Read the draft, change anything you disagree with, and make it yours. Keep the question headings: paragraph numbers and your name are added for you, so leave contact details out. In the next step you download your response as a Word document, so you can finish editing there if you prefer.
Nothing is saved until you finish. Please do not leave or reload this page.
A small number in your letter marks a source for the claim before it. Deleting the number removes that source from your letter.
The numbers beside your letter are added for you.

4. Submit your response
Before you submit
This is your response. This draft is a suggestion to help you construct your own response. You are responsible for what you submit: read it carefully, change anything you disagree with, and check that it is accurate and you are happy to put your name to it. The Free Speech Union makes no claim about the accuracy or suitability of the suggested text.
It will probably be published. The Committee usually publishes written evidence in full, with your name, and it stays public permanently. Leave out anything about yourself or anyone else that you would not want made public.
The AI declaration. Parliament's guidance on written evidence asks you to say if a substantial part of your evidence was generated by AI, and AI helped to draft this letter. A short declaration is therefore included in your letter by default. It is ordinary text in your letter, which you may edit.
The Committee's guidance. Before you submit, please read the Committee's call for evidence (opens in a new tab) and its guidance on written evidence (opens in a new tab) carefully.
