An Early Day Motion, or EDM, is a motion put down ("tabled") on the order paper by a group of Members of Parliament calling for a debate on a particular subject.
In recent years the increasing number of EDMs has meant that time is very rarely found for them to be debated and their true 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. Members may also table amendments to existing EDMs.
As a general rule, EDMs will only be debated if they can gain the support of over half the MPs in the House.
