Turnout At The General Election

EDM number 126 in 2001-02, proposed by Frank Field on 12/07/2001.

That this House is concerned with the turnout at the General Election, the lowest for over 80 years; believes that parties from across the political spectrum should act to try and reverse the trend; and calls upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer to allow both the successful candidate and the unsuccessful candidates following a General Election a copy of the marked register at nil cost.

This motion has been signed by a total of 42 MPs.
