EDM number 2821 in 2005-06, proposed by Neil Gerrard on 20/10/2006.
That this House notes the recommendations of the Fifteenth Report of the House of Lords Select Committee on the Constitution regarding the role of Parliament in going to war and the need to seek parliamentary approval; further notes that a similar view has been expressed by organisations concerned with democracy such as Unlock Democracy (a joint initiative by Charter 88 and the New Politics Network) as well as by the House of Commons Public Administration Committee and by the right hon. Member for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath, the right hon. Member for Witney and the right hon. Member for North East Fife; and calls on the Government and Opposition Parties to support these recommendations by all backing new Standing Orders for this House, or some other appropriate mechanism, to give effect to them.
This motion has been signed by a total of 136 MPs.
