Parliament, constituencies and MPs
- Your MP should help you with matters for which Parliament or central government is responsible.
- However the extent to which MPs will support a campaign depends on the individual and the issue.
- Only your local MP will help you with local campaigning. MPs do not take up issues on behalf of people who are not their constituents and if you contact another MP they will simply direct you to your own.
- MPs cannot usually help in resolving private disputes.
- MPs cannot provide legal advice or resolve legal issues.
Who is my MP?
- Ask at your local reference library or at your local town hall.
- Telephone the House of Commons Information Office on 020 7219 4272.
