PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
ELECTION TITLES (21 May 1997)
Motion Details
That this House is concerned that the wishes of the electorate are being distorted by individuals who are standing for election under misleading titles and that the current trend to describe themselves in similar terms to the established national party candidates is misleading, and therefore calls on the Home Secretary to consider devising and implementing methods to stop this at future elections.
