Topical Debates And Public Engagement

EDM number 1729 in 2008-09, proposed by Frank Field on 23/06/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Parliamentary procedure.

That this House believes that one way to increase Parliament's openness to the public would be to decide the subject of each Thursday's topical debate by means of an online poll, where members of the public would vote for the issues they would like to see debated from a shortlist of 10 varied options decided by the Leader of the House.

This motion has been signed by a total of 20 MPs.
