Email them
Email your MP
To email your MP you need two things: to know which MP is yours, and to write something that reads as a constituent rather than a campaign. Enter your postcode and we will handle the first and hold you to the second — the message goes from your own name and address to their parliamentary inbox.
MP email addresses, and why we do not just list them
Most MPs use a firstname.surname@parliament.uk address, but there are enough exceptions — shared office addresses, name changes, new members whose address has not gone live — that a static list is wrong within weeks. We resolve the current address at the moment you send, from Parliament's own data.
Publishing a bare list also invites mass-mailing, which is the thing that makes offices stop reading. Sending through the flow keeps your message identifiable as a real constituent's.
Email versus a paper letter
Email is faster and is now the normal route; parliamentary offices handle far more email than post. Paper still has an edge in two situations: when you are enclosing documents, and when you want the letter to sit physically on a desk. For everything else, email arrives the same day and is easier for a caseworker to log and track.
What to put in the subject line
Name the issue and your constituency status: 'Constituent, SW1A: bus service cuts on the 87 route' is triaged in a second. Avoid slogans and all-capitals, which look like bulk mail and get filtered accordingly.
Common questions
- What is my MP's email address?
- Most are firstname.surname@parliament.uk, but there are exceptions. Enter your postcode and we will use the current published address at the moment your message is sent.
- Do MPs reply to emails?
- Most do, usually within two to four weeks, and casework about an individual problem is answered more reliably than policy correspondence.
- Why do I have to confirm by email?
- The confirmation click is what proves the message came from a real person at a real address. It replaces having an account.
