Election Titles (No. 2)

EDM number 403 in 1997-98, proposed by Nick Harvey on 05/11/1997.

That this House notes the problem of individuals standing for election under misleading titles, such as titles in similar terms to established national party names; welcomes the Government's indication that they will introduce legislation in this area; and calls on all candidates standing in elections until those measures have been introduced to pay special care not to stand under a confusing title, whether deliberate or unintentional.

This motion has been signed by a total of 54 MPs.
