People in Lichfield and Burntwood are being asked to resend emails to the area’s MP after a number of communications with constituents were lost.
Michael Fabricant said the issue had affected those residents who had used his online contact form between September 9 and 18.
Increased digital security measured had meant some messages had been lost in the system.
The Conservative MP said: “Following the cyber-attacks on Parliament a few months back, the House of Commons has introduced additional filters on incoming emails and an unwanted side effect has been that a number of messages have been lost and cannot be recovered.
“We are really sorry about this. This has now been fixed by the Parliamentary Digital Service and we believe this failure only applies to messages sent via the webform.
“We would ask that urgent messages be sent again.”
