They Work For You: Worth Checking Out

Hello readers!

Ever wondered how to actually find out what your MP is doing in the House of Commons, or even who your MP is? One easy way of doing it, as I have found out whilst working in Parliament, is to use the excellent website that is They Work For You. It allows you to do several things:

1. Find out who your MP is according to your postcode: so if you type in TR10 9EZ and click search, you get George Eustice (Conservative), the MP for Camborne and Redruth.
2. Set up a feed to your e-mail account alerting you as to when your MP speaks in the House, with a link to the debate in full.
3. See how your MP has voted on various issues, such as tuition fees.
4. Examine their expenses claims.
5. Find out what their interests are: in Ben Bradshaw's case, it's the National Lottery and Arts Councils.

So definitely worth having a look at if you want to find out more about MPs. Fun times!
