answer text <p>This issue was considered in the last Parliament by the House of Commons Procedure Committee in its first report of Session 2013-14 (HC189). The Committee considered whether to recommend the adoption of an e-tabling system, but concluded that it was not appropriate for EDMs to be tabled electronically unless significantly stronger authentication than was then required for parliamentary questions could be guaranteed. However, it did recognise that there might be benefits in allowing MPs to add their signatures to EDMs electronically.</p><br /><p>Following the closure of the savings programme, the House authorities continue to consider how they can improve effectiveness and drive innovation, including in the area of electronic delivery of services.</p><p><br>I suggest that the Honourable Gentleman raises the issue with the Procedure Committee.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The House recognises the sacrifice of those killed in the service of their country in a range of ways. This includes honouring all those who have fallen by observing a period of silence when sitting on Armistice Day. The Prime Minister also remains committed to continuing to pay tribute to those who have died and been named by the Ministry of Defence. What individual Members are allowed to do on the floor of the House is largely a matter of practice and convention under the control of Mr Speaker. The Government has no plans to change the current procedures but we will keep it under review.</p> more like this
