Expedition:
For this mining expedition, you’re going to create a motion to propose substantive action regarding a topic of your choice. A motion is a proposition that you make in order to make sure the House takes substantive action (a motion can also be used for smaller things, such as amendments or the postponing of a meeting). An example of a motion can be found below.
Example Motion of substantive action
I move that we do a roadside cleanup for our community service project in the following districts of London:
- Barnet
- Charing Cross
- Chelsea
- King’s Cross
- Northwood
The reason for this motion is the polluted state these specific districts are in. These districts have become a risk to residents’ health and, according to Health Code Regulations, should not be in the state they are in.
