RECALL OF HON. MEMBERS

Early day motion 25, tabled 4 June 2014 by Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park (Conservative). Signed by 64 members.

That this House welcomes the Government's commitment to introduce a power of recall for constituents to recall their hon. Members; urges the Government not to introduce a system that requires approval by a parliamentary or other committee; and calls instead for a system where voters themselves can recall their elected representatives if a majority has lost confidence in them, for whatever reason, and if enough voters sign a petition to trigger a recall vote, in order to rebuild trust between people and power.

Signatures by party: Labour 31, Conservative 14, Liberal Democrat 8, Scottish National Party 4, Plaid Cymru 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Alliance 1, Green 1, Independent 1.
