What Andrew Can Do For You

Andrew’s role as an MP is to represent all his constituents at Westminster, regardless of whether or not they voted for him. If you are a constituent, Andrew can help you in a variety of ways, from making private enquiries on your behalf, to raising matters publicly in the House of Commons.

MPs are able to help you with issues that Parliament or government are responsible for, such as:

Tax
Hospitals and the National Health Service
Benefits, pensions, national insurance.
Immigration
School closures and grants

First steps

Keeping the issue private, Andrew might write to the relevant department, send a letter to the appropriate Minister, or make a personal appointment to discuss the issue.

Although they don’t sound dramatic, these steps can often go a long way to providing a solution.

Making the issue public

Andrew may decide, with your permission, to make the issue public by raising it in the House of Commons, where it will be officially recorded, and could potentially come to the attention of the press and public.

If you and other people feel very strongly about a certain issue you may decide to organise a petition to the House of Commons. Your petition can only be presented by Andrew as your MP. You can obtain advice on petitions by writing to:

Clerk of Public Petitions
Journal Office
