Members of Parliament are elected to the House of Commons to represent the interests and concerns of all the people who live in their constituency, whether they voted for them at the General Election or not. They are only able to deal with issues raised by people who live in their constituency, called constituents.
To check if you are one of Jack's constituents, please enter your postcode on the Parliament website.
MPs consider and vote on legislation and use their position to ask government ministers questions about current issues.
MPs split their time between working in Parliament and working in the constituency. In Parliament, Jack spends his time fighting for the interests of all my constituents, attending debates, scrutinising and voting on legislation, and attending meetings. He holds advice surgeries for my constituents (where they can come and talk to Jack and his team about any local issues and problems), attend meetings and community events, as well as visiting local organisations and businesses across the constituency.
Petitions
Members of Parliament can present a petition to Parliament on behalf of their constituents. The format and wording of the petition need to be in a particular way. For more information or guidance, please contact:
Clerk of Public Petitions

What Jack cannot do, however, is have any jurisdiction over local Council decisions. He may be able to write to on your behalf to the council and ask them to look into a problem or to reconsider an issue. In the first instance though, constituents should contact their local council or councillor directly.
Moreover he cannot get involved in individual legal cases on behalf of constituents/
