Categorised under the topic of European Parliament.

That this House notes that the 200 million eurosspent every year moving the European Parliament between Brussels and Strasbourg is a waste of taxpayers' money; further notes that the co-location of the European Parliament's sitting generates 20,000 tonnes ofcarbon dioxideat a time when all countries and EU member states are required to cut their levels ofcarbon dioxideemissions; therefore calls on the Government to support the One Seat Campaign and lobby for the end of the co-location of the sitting of the European Parliament; and further calls on the Prime Minister to submit a proposal in support of the One Seat Campaign to the European Council demanding a change in European law so that the European Parliament need only meet in one place.

This motion has been signed by a total of 26 MPs.
