Early Day Motions Web Site, the daily working papers of the House of Commons.
That this House welcomes Sense and Deafblind UK's Red
and White: No Sound, No Sight, Campaign during Deafblind Awareness Week,
22nd to 27th June, to increase national recognition of the red and white
cane, the mobility aid for deafblind people; believes greater recognition
of the red and white cane would make it easier for many deafblind people
to move around safely and confidently, enhance their safety both as pedestrians
and users of public transport, improve their access to mainstream services
and facilities and reduce their isolation in the community by encouraging
hearing sighted people to make contact and offer appropriate assistance;
and urges the Government to support this vital initiative with practical
action.

Early Day Motion, or EDM, is the term used to describe
notices of motions given by Members that are not generally expected to
be debated. Effectively, the tabling of an EDM is a device to draw attention
to an issue, and to elicit support for it by the means of inviting other
Members to add their signatures to the motion.
