Early Day Motions

As Parliament is in the process of a general election, there are no Current EDM's 

• Posted on Feb 23, 2010

As the Parliamentary web-site explains: ‘An Early Day Motion, or EDM, is a motion put down ("tabled") by Members of Parliament calling for a debate on a particular subject. In practice, there is rarely time to debate EDMs nowadays and their true modern-day purpose is to enable MPs to draw attention to an issue and to canvass support for their views by inviting other Members to add their signatures in support of the motion.’
