Sir Roger made himself available to chat about the issues of British Overseas Voters being campaigned by the #BOVF

Either in spite of, or because of his being probably the most active politician in terms of expat issues and being acutely aware of all of them, Sir Roger was very keen to listen and hear what I had to say in our conversation which lasted more than 20 minutes.

We finished the conversation confirming that we will meet, in any event, after the election rather than the in the middle of a major election campaign when he has very little time.

If you are not aware of the issues I raised, they are;

• UnjustFrozen Pensions
• Unfair Overseas Uni Fees for British students studying in the UK
• Harsh Spousal Reunion rules
• Right to a British bank account
• Discriminatory Housing Loan interest
• Using Embassies as polling stations
• Creating Overseas Constituencies
