Early Day Motions And Parliamentary Activity
EDM number 145 in 2013-14, proposed by Gregory Campbell on 21/05/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Members of Parliament and Parliamentary procedure.
That this House acknowledges that Early Day Motions (EDMs) have been used on a number of occasions to highlight important issues which otherwise may have proved difficult for hon. Members to raise; notes that they have produced effective results; and nonetheless deeply regrets abuses of the system whereby in one instance almost 100 EDMs were submitted by an hon. Member in a few months, leading to the suggestion that EDMs are being used as a smokescreen for a significant amount of parliamentary inactivity.
This motion has been signed by a total of 4 MPs.
