We take a regular look at the Early Day Motions tabled by MPs. These are basically House of Commons petition and are used to raise awareness of an issue. One of the biggest elements of an MP’s postbag or inbox is a pile of requests from supporters of a particular organisation or charity to sign a particular EDM. As a rule, ministers don’t sign EDMs. At the time of writing, 108 new motions had appeared since EDMWatch #2 , bringing the total to 263. Most popular Greg Mulholland’s EDM 57 on a fair deal for your local pub has gone from number 2 to claim the top spot this week with 123 signatures. In second place comes EDM 36 , predominantly Labour but with a few Lib Dems like Andrew George and John Leech in there, on Legal Aid changes. EDM 153 is a mainly Labour motion calling for the planning regulations which allowed larger extensions to be dropped. Only 70 MPs and precious few Liberal Democrats have signed EDM 187 which suggests that the woman who was killed by the King’s horse in the name of votes for women, Emily Davison, be commemorated by a statue in Westminster. In fifth place EDM 80 rejects Government proposals to weaken the 2000 Freedom of Information Act. This one is co-sponsored by Julian Huppert. Liberal Democrat highlights Tim Farron’s EDM 157 is all about transparency in English Football: That this House is increasingly concerned about the lack of transparency in English Football, leading to disenfranchised communities ...
