What can your MP deal with?
MPs vote on matters controlled at Westminster, including Universal Credit rules, most taxes and immigration. Their office can also take up a problem you are having with a UK Government department.
What should go somewhere else?
The Scottish NHS, schools and many housing matters are handled in Scotland. Bins, council housing and local roads are usually council matters. The postcode tool sends each request to the right person.
Where this information comes from
The name, party and public contact details came from UK Parliament's official record. I checked them on . The page keeps a checked copy, so it still works if Parliament's website is temporarily unavailable.
MPs can change after an election, resignation or by-election. If this record is out of date, tell me and I will check it.
