Step-by-step:
You or your staff can complete these steps, but your staff can only complete step 4 if they are registered to use the online MemberHub or have your handwritten signature.
- You can only add your name to an EDM when the House is meeting. You can submit a name at other times, but it won’t be added until the House meets again.
- If you don’t already have the text or number of the EDM you want to support, find it using the EDMs database or contact the Table Office (email tableoffice@parliament.uk or phone 3305). If the EDM hasn’t been published yet, you can view it in the Table Office and add your name to it there.
- If you have a relevant interest, you must declare it when adding your name.
- There are five ways you can add your name to an EDM:
- Go to the online Member Hub, click ‘search’ at the top of the screen to search for the EDM, click ‘actions’ and select ‘sign’ or ‘sign and declare interests’.
- Phone the Table Office on x3302 in person.
- Send an email to tableoffice@parliament.uk from your parliamentary email.
- Visit the Table Office in person or ask another MP to do so on your behalf.
- Send a signed copy of the EDM, or a signed note indicating the number of the EDM, to the Table Office, or ask your staff to hand it in. Photocopied, stamped or faxed signatures can’t be accepted.
- The Table Office will add your name to the EDM.
