HON. MEMBERS WHO DO NOT TAKE THEIR SEATS

Early day motion 229, tabled 15 June 2010 by David Simpson (DUP). Signed by 11 members.

That this House believes that hon. Members who refuse to take their seats fail to give proper representation to their constituents in that they deliberately absent themselves from debates on the Budget, on the Queen's Speech, on benefits, on foreign policy, on immigration, on the economy, on levels of taxation, on defence and on any decision to take the United Kingdom to war; and in consequence further believes that no parliamentary allowances should be paid to them.

Signatures by party: DUP 6, Conservative 4, Labour 1.
