The list of EDMs signed by Daniel Kawczynski Member of Parliament for Shrewsbury and Atcham

Here are the Early Day Motions (EDMs) that Daniel has signed, in reverse numerical (date) order.

Daniel often receives requests from his constituents to sign an Early Day Motion on a subject that they feel is important. He will always consider such requests carefully and sign those EDMs that he feels able to support.

The EDMs that Daniel has signed to date are listed here, so that constituents need not spend time in contacting him about EDMs that he has already signed. If you would like to ask Daniel to sign an EDM that is not listed here, please contact him.

WHAT ARE EARLY DAY MOTIONS?

An Early Day Motion (EDM) is a colloquial term for a motion put forward by an MP for which no date for a debate has been arranged.

The purpose of an EDM is for the MP to put forward and publicise their opinion on a subject and to seek support from other MPs about the matter in question. It is in effective a 'petition' of MPs and serves to show the strength of feeling about particular issues.

It is very unlikely that an EDM will be debated in the House of Commons, but when an EDM receives a lot of support (typically 200+ signatures) then the Government may come under sufficient pressure that it will arrange a debate on the subject.

EDMs vary widely in their content. They are sometimes strongly party political, for example the Opposition taking a stand against the Government. They can also be all-party motions, covering points of view that are held by two or more of the political parties represented in Parliament. EDMs can address local, national and international matters. They are often about very serious matters, but occasionally are used by MPs to make more trivial points of view, such as the outcome of a football match.
