This Bill would establish a formal recall process for Members of the House of Commons and allow that framework to be extended to other public offices. It also provides that recall of elected representatives in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland would be dealt with by devolved legislatures. In short, it aims to give voters a mechanism to remove their representatives under clear rules, with some matters handled by devolved governments.
The Bill is at the 2nd Reading in the House of Commons and originated in the Commons. If it progresses, it would move to subsequent stages for detailed consideration.
