149.  Section 9(4) of the Act (recall petition to be made available for signing) is substituted as follows—

(4) The wording of a petition signing sheet must include the following—

By signing in the box below, you are signing a petition for [name of MP], the MP for [name of constituency], to lose [his/her] seat in the House of Commons.

If at least 10% of eligible people in the constituency sign the petition, [name of MP] MP will lose [his/her] seat in the House of Commons and a by-election will be held. The loss of [his/her] seat does not prevent [name of MP] standing in this by-election.
