I've been doing a little bit more work on edms.org.uk and have been looking into why some of my scraping scripts have kept telling me that I have more signatures for some early day motions than on the governments website. After a bit of digging today I've tracked the problem down to the disgraced MP Eric Illsley. It turns out that some of his signatures have been removed from the official early day motions website - every motion he signed after the 24th of November 2010. However, he didn't resign from the house of commons until the 8th of February 2011. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what's happened here?
