In effect, the primary function of an EDM is to form a kind of petition that MPs can sign as there is very little prospect of the motions being debated on the floor of the House. The following are a list of Early Day Motions that I have signed or sponsored during the current session of Parliament. I am a primary sponsor of the bold ones and one of the six secondary sponsors of those in italics.
