Recall Of Hon. Members

EDM number 25 in 2014-15, proposed by Zac Goldsmith on 04/06/2014.
Categorised under the topic of Members of Parliament.

That this House welcomes the Government's commitment to introduce a power of recall for constituents to recall their hon. Members; urges the Government not to introduce a system that requires approval by a parliamentary or other committee; and calls instead for a system where voters themselves can recall their elected representatives if a majority has lost confidence in them, for whatever reason, and if enough voters sign a petition to trigger a recall vote, in order to rebuild trust between people and power.

This motion has been signed by a total of 73 MPs.
