The proposal was backed by shadow defence secretary Vernon Coaker but failed to progress[6] Ed Miliband later suggested that a Labour government might introduce legislation along similar lines[7] Docherty also sat on the Administration Committee, Procedure Committee and the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee at various times during the 2010-15 Parliament[8] He was a shadow minister with responsibility for environment, food and rural affairs between 2013 and 2014, and in 2014 was appointed Shadow Deputy Leader of the House of Commons.[8] Having previously worked in political lobbying, he proposed a private member's bill in early 2013 which would have required lobbyists to sign a public register and code of conduct[9] He criticised the government's own plans when they were unveiled later that year for excluding law firms.[10] After the government's Transparency of Lobbying, Non-party Campaigning and Trade Union Administration Bill passed, Docherty introduced a private member's bill aiming at repealing it.[11] In 2015 Docherty wrote to Culture Secretary Sajid Javid on Holocaust Memorial Day, suggesting a debate over banning Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler. Docherty advocated for a national debate to put "limits on the freedom of expression."[12] He said he didn't necessarily think it should be banned but thought it was important that such a debate took place.{{citation needed|date=May 2015}} Docherty was defeated for re-election in 2015, losing to Douglas Chapman, the SNP candidate. Personal lifeHe lives in Dunfermline with his wife Katie and their children. He is a member of Dunfermline Round Table and supports Dunfermline Athletic F.C. In 2016, after Jamie Reed announced his resignation, Docherty put his name forward to stand in the following by-election.
