Help using search

The parliamentary website has a simple search service that helps you to find what you’re looking for, displayed in a way that makes sense to you.

You can use it to find information on everything from MPs contact details, to recess dates, to visiting information.

It shows results from both parliament.uk and beta.parliament.uk, which is the new website we’re building for Parliament.

You can read more about the launch of the search service on the Parliamentary Digital Service blog.
