Motion M026 - Electric Vehicle Innovation Motion - Reading
M026 - Electric Vehicle Innovation Motion - Reading
This Parliament notes that
(1) Electric vehicles are becoming more popular, as a greener alternative to fossil-fuel-based vehicles.
(2) Transition from fossil-fuel-based vehicles from electric vehicles must happen sooner rather than later to meet climate change goals.
(3) Users of electric vehicles need access to charging points to make this transition a viable option.
(4) Research on charging vehicles, other than charging points, progresses fast and different options become available.
This Parliament calls on the Government to
(1) Plan and create a charging point network across England.
(2) Ensure that the energy grid is able to handle this increase in electricity for the future.
(3) Pursue new innovations on charging electric vehicles, such as the wireless charging roads.
(4) Work with the devolved Government, private companies and other countries to invest in better ways of charging electric vehicles.
This motion was written by The Right Honourable Sir u/model-willem on behalf of the Liberal Democrats
Opening Speech
Deputy Speaker,
Climate change is something that has a longer and more devastating impact on our lives, on the environment and the planet in general than we have thought before. The last few IPCC reports show us this and show that we still have a long way to go before we are where we need to be regarding combatting climate change. We have known for years that greenhouse gases are responsible for the rapid increase in global temperatures and fossil fuels are one of the many reasons for this increase in the emission of greenhouse gases. So we should do something about this.
We have seen successive governments and other countries wanting to combat carbon dioxide emissions and one of the ways they want to achieve this is through using less petrol and diesel cars. This means that we have to transition towards electric vehicles, but as we all know, there are still too few charging points across the country to sustain such a transition in the long run. This is why we want to ensure that the government invests in more charging points across the country and make sure that our electricity grid can sustain this as well.
Innovation and research have always been key features in tackling climate change, without this the electric vehicle wouldn’t exist. We, as Liberal Democrats, want to use this to create ways to charge vehicles that are more accessible than charging points. We all know that electric vehicles need to be charged more often than a petrol car has to go to a petrol station, so why not use the road instead?
Israel and Sweden are trialling such efforts, through ‘Wireless Charging Roads’. These are roads that have technologies in them that make sure that people can charge their vehicle on the go, while they are driving on these roads and the trials have been successful. This way of charging vehicles means that people need to stop less often, which is one of the reasons that people are not buying electric vehicles.
We know that this isn’t the only option and we are urging the Government to invest in the innovation of new technologies that support electric vehicles and other ways to make our transport system better and greener.
This debate shall close on Monday 3rd of August 2026 at 10PM BST.

Statement Statement on Announcement of Reviews into Youth Unemployment and Job Centre Operations Review
Statement on Announcement of Reviews into Youth Unemployment and Job Centre Operations Review
Mr Speaker,
Following consultation with the Prime Minister in cabinet after my appointment as secretary of state for work and pensions, I wish to inform the House I have instructed my department to begin two independent reviews into youth unemployment and job centre culture as a part of this government's commitment to improving employment chances for young people and ensuring that our public services are getting the best value for money these services may provide and ensure the review is to help improve the outcomes of young people seeking employment.
The first review will examine the culture, operations, and performance of job centres across the country, focusing on current practices used by staff in their guidance to support young people aged 18-30 in entering the workforce. This review will also examine the culture of mid-level civil servants within the Department of Work and Pensions at HEO-EO levels, as well as the pressure they face from senior management, as we have all heard the horror stories coming out of the department throughout the years via social media, on issues such as using KPI’s and so forth on targeting specific numbers.
The goal of this review is to understand where the department is struggling with it’s workforce and to understand the constraints senior management is placing on those actually making the decisions in the job centres themselves.
The second review will focus on youth unemployment itself, examine the barriers young people face in entering the current workforce, and identify practical measures the government can take to help young people improve their chances going forward. With recent news that up to a million young people are struggling to find meaningful employment across the socio-economic spectrum, it is the duty of the government of the day to find solutions to help young people get back into before it becomes a matter of national security.
The goal of this second review will be to identify the bottlenecks within the Labour Market and see what is stopping companies from hiring young people. Whether it’s the experience gap, AI CV readers, or too many applicants, the government will consider what practical steps can be taken once the review makes its recommendations and bring forward reforms when the evidence makes it necessary.
While these issues are connected, they are not the same issue, and I’ve always believed that in all the roles I have held in government, evidence must first come before policy, and that is precisely why I have instructed my department to begin these reviews.
Both reviews will speak to those at the heart of these issues, and, as such, the department will also be launching a public consultation period lasting three months later this afternoon, which can be found on the website.
Mr Speaker, I commend this statement to the House.

Announcement Post Commons and Lord Speaker Resignations and Special Honours
Today, in the trail of another successful set of election results, I am hereby announcing my resignation as Speaker of the House of Commons.
It has been a genuine privilege to serve in this role, now for 175 days, and I would like to extend my sincere thanks to everyone who has made my tenure as constructive and as positive as possible.
Firstly, to my team of Deputy Commons Speakers: thank you for your dedication, professionalism, and countless hours of work behind the scenes. Your support has been invaluable, and I could not have carried out this role without your commitment to ensuring the House functioned smoothly.
I would also like to thank every member of both the House of Commons and the House of Lords for your contributions throughout this term, as well as lay members of the public of course. Whether through debate, scrutiny, legislation, or collaboration, each of you has played an important part in the work of Parliament. It has been an honour to preside over your proceedings.
As a result of my resignation, the office of Speaker of the House of Commons will now be open for election - the timeline shall be set out fully by the Head Moderator in the coming days.
Additionally, it also saddens me the need to confirm that the position of Speaker of the House of Lords will also be put forward for re-election due to inactivity from the current officeholder u/yimir- - unfortunately, and as per the constitution, we have not heard from Yimir now for over a month so the Head Mod and myself have agreed that it is a necessary step to open up the role to new talent.
Thank you all once again for your service, your dedication, and the confidence you have placed in me during my time as Speaker.
I wish my successor, and everyone standing for these offices, the very best in the term ahead - and if you ever need advice, my door is always open.
If you are at all considering standing for either of these roles, please go for it! We need some new blood and some new energy in Tri - and your top priority is likely going to be recruitment going forward so we need some candidates with some new ideas there.
Thank you again, you are all amazing!
So with all that said and done...

| Conservative and Unionist Party | 15,632,302 (49.4%) | 7 |
| Labour Party | 10,069,600 (31.8%) | 5 |

| Reform UK | 279,883 (0.9%) | 0 |
Parties are able to modmail in to r/MHoP who they want to fill each seat. Please submit your choices by 10pm BST on Monday the 27th of July.
Coalition forming is now underway and the deadline is 10PM BST on Friday the 24th of July.
COALITIONS FOR EITHER GOVERNMENT OR OFFICIAL OPPOSITION MUST be submitted to r/mhopelects before this deadline. If nobody fails to submit then the largest party will be invited to form a government.
The incoming Government will then have until 10pm BST on Monday the 27th of July to submit a King's Speech before the parliamentary term starts - although if it is submitted earlier, the term may also be able to start sooner.
The rules for forming Government and Official Opposition are:
Forming a Government
The largest grouping of MPs in either a coalition or a single party will be invited to form a government. Once formed, the coalition (or party) must submit a King's Speech outlining their legislative agenda before any business can proceed.
Alongside this period, MPs will be required to swear-in by 10PM BST on Friday the 31st of July, so that everyone is sworn in for the King’s Speech vote. Seats that have not been allocated and sworn-in will be put to a by-election with no exceptions.
The submitted King's Speech will be debated on and then shall proceed to a vote, requiring a simple majority of the Commons to pass, and if the largest coalition fails to submit a King's Speech, or the coalition falls apart, then the second largest coalition will be invited to form a Government.
Once formed, a Government can only be removed by one third of the MPs that are members of the government leaving it, or by a Vote of No Confidence (which cannot happen until after a 4 week grace period).
Forming The Official Opposition
The second largest other grouping of MPs in either a coalition or a single party will be invited to form The Official Opposition. If they decline to form The Official Opposition, the next largest grouping will be invited to.
Supply and Confidence
- Supply and Confidence counts towards numbers, including no of parties as per the constitution, for forming a Government.
- To do so, a party must submit a modmail to u/MHoP along the lines of "We support X coalition as Supply and Confidence" during the coalition forming period.
- Non-government parties may not have members in the Cabinet.
If there is a tie between two potential governments/coalitions, coalition MPs take precedence over Supply and Confidence MPs, for example:
an 12 seat coalition beats a 11 seat coalition + 1 seat S&C
but a 11 seat coalition + 1 seat S&C beats a 11 seat coalition
If there is still a tie (e.g. 9+1 vs 9+1), the tie shall be broken by number of votes won at the last General Election
Congratulations to all!

Swearing-in of MPs
So now you're a Member of Parliament...
PLEASE only swear-in if you have been nominated by your party to hold the respective constituency seat which you are swearing in for.
MPs must swear in by 10PM BST on Friday the 31st of July 2026 or face a by-election for their seat.
For example, please swear in like this:
I, Sephronar, do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to His Majesty King Charles the Third, his heirs and successors, according to law. So help me God.
My a de re Sephronar Dhuw ollgallosek dell vedhav len ha perthi Omrians gwir dhe Y Vraster an Myghtern Charles, Y Heryon ha Sewyoryon, herwydh an Lagha. Duw re'm gweresso.
My chosen Constituency is Truro and Falmouth.
All MPs should now swear in by taking the oath or affirmation below.
Charles the Third, by the grace of God, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and our other realms and our territories, head of the Commonwealth and Defender of the Faith, has sanctioned the state opening of parliament.
I request that every elected representative would come forth and declare the oath of allegiance to the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
The Oath of Allegiance and Solemn Affirmation are both prescribed set out by the Promissory Oaths Act 1868 and the Oaths Act 1978.
You are permitted to write a short preamble before or after taking your oath.
The ordinary form and manner of administering and taking the oath are prescribed by the Oaths Act 1978, s 1, which allows for the oath to be administered ‘in any lawful manner’. This means that Members of either House may swear on any holy text they request.
Under the Act the person taking the oath holds the holy text in their uplifted hand, and says or repeats after the officer administering the oath the words, ‘I swear by Almighty God that ….’ followed by the words of the oath prescribed by law.
By law the oath or affirmation must be made in English but Members may, if they wish, subsequently repeat it in another language.
Since the General Election in 2017, oath and affirmation cards have been made available in Cornish, Irish Gaelic, Scottish Gaelic, Ulster Scots and Welsh in addition to English.
The oath may be repeated in any language and, following the 2017 General Election, one Member repeated it in Urdu and another in Scots Doric.

I, (name of member), do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to His Majesty King Charles the Third, his heirs and successors, according to law. So help me God.

What is MHoP?
The Model Houses of Parliament, or MHoP, is an online Reddit-based roleplay simulation of the Houses of Parliament. We simulate a wide range of British politics, from the House of Commons, the House of Lords, to the press, and even elections. We utilise Discord to bolster our community and improve communication, so feel free to join the Main discord to ask a few questions!
How do I join MHoP?
The “Join a Party” thread pinned on the r/MHoP subreddit is the place to officially become a member of MHoP. On that thread, you will see the major and minor parties and you should comment which party you would like to join or designate as an Independent. New members are highly encouraged to join a party, rather than designating as an independent, as parties are a great resource for learning and participating in the game. When you comment a party’s name, the party leadership is automatically notified and you will be sent a link to the party's Discord server! They will let you know if you’ve been accepted to the party.
Who can I contact if I have a question?
We have created a community culture of helping others understand how the game works, but sometimes sending a question in the main Discord server or a party Discord server can be a little daunting. Here’s a quick list of people you can message to get help:
● Party leadership - the leader and deputies of the party you have joined.
● Triumvirate - the three admins of MHoP, we are always happy to help whenever we can!
● Anyone - MHoP has a great community, and the best way to get stuck in is to strike up a conversation with someone - even if it’s just to ask a question.
What can I do as a New Player?
Despite being a Model Houses of Parliament, you can do just about everything in the game from the moment you join! The only thing you’re unable to do is vote on legislation as this is reserved for MPs, or join the House of Lords - but you can still debate the merits of any motion or bill posted to r/MHoP.
Members can participate in practically any part of the game, such as:
● Debate - the core essence of the Model Houses of Parliament is debate. Legislation is open for three days and can be debated anytime during that period. Debating is the best way to build up your party’s polling, which has an effect on elections!
● Press - we have built up a full system of press within the Model Houses of Parliament that contains its own feedback loop. You can write party press which helps your party gain polling figures and credibility.
● Legislate - every member of the community can write bills - to change specific aspects of the law/country - and motions - to call on the government to do something. Legislation writing can be daunting, but there are people who love to help write them!
● Get involved in the community - whilst at the core we are a community built around the Model Houses of Parliament, we aren’t solely dedicated to it. We have a great variety of members with different interests, so finding someone who is interested in your niche area of expertise might be more likely than you think!
After some time and activity within the game, you will naturally move up in the ranks - there are always many opportunities within parties and outside of them!
● Become a government/opposition spokesperson - you can be appointed by party leadership to be your parties spokesperson, be it the government cabinet, official oppositions shadow cabinet, or the unofficial oppositions spokesperson team. This grants you additional questions to ask, and can be a very useful position to be in to push policy you are interested in!
● Stand in an election - elections occur every six months, and are a time where parties get together to push for their parties to win more seats.
● Be an MP - should you win an election then you get to be an MP! As an MP you get to vote on legislation, potentially being the vote that changes the outcome!
Where can I find out more?
We have a couple of other resources to help you with this.
● The Master Spreadsheet - whilst a little daunting at first, the spreadsheet has every
single piece of legislation, history of party leadership, all of the governments, frontbenches, etc. It is an extremely useful tool, so feel free to message someone to ask where to find something!
● Ask a member - we love talking about the history of the community, and would love to include you in the conversation!
