Do parliament.uk addresses work during purdah?

[Bjwebb]

Not sure if this is the correct place to report issues with data, but I've noticed that a lot of those candidates who were previously MPs have parliament.uk email addresses listed. Does anyone know whether these addresses work during purdah?

Normally they are blocked, but heard that this time around the are debating keeping them active. Will hear on Monday I hope, and update this issue then.

Update:

• For members standing down email access will end on the 7th of June
• For members standing again email will remain through dissolution (but with an out of office message from 3/5)
• Defeated members will have access removed 15 working days post election

I think this means we can use parliament.uk for the GE2017 election campaign on candidates.democracyclub.org.uk, remembering to clean them up for people who will no longer have them afterwards.
