DEBATE OF EARLY DAY MOTIONS

Early day motion 1504, tabled 25 June 2002 by Lynne Jones (Labour). Signed by 81 members.

That this House notes that there is currently no provision for Early Day Motions with a high number of signatories to be debated; further notes that provision for Early Day Motions with the support of more than half the House to be debated automatically would make Early Day Motions a more effective mechanism for ensuring the concerns of the House are addressed; and calls on the Government to consider introducing such a provision.

Signatures by party: Labour 49, Liberal Democrat 17, Labour/Co-operative 4, Plaid Cymru 4, Scottish National Party 4, UUP 2, DUP 1.
