The UK public elects 650 Members of Parliament (MPs) to represent their interests and concerns in the House of Commons. MPs consider and propose new laws and scrutinise government policies by asking ministers questions about current issues, either in the Commons Chamber or in Committees. The House of Commons Service employs over 2500 people to provide professional and impartial support to the House and its committees as well as individual MPs and their staff.
