Early Day Motions (358 words) |
 | Early Day Motion, or EDM, is a motion put down ("tabled") by Members of Parliament calling for a debate on a particular subject. |
| In practice, there is rarely time to debate EDMs nowadays and their true modern-day purpose is to enable MPs to draw attention to an issue and to canvass support for their views by inviting other Members to add their signatures in support of the motion. |
| EDMs, amendments to them, and the names of signatories to both, are circulated in the Vote Bundle, the daily working papers of the House of Commons. |
