PMQs & Parliamentary Tours

Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQs)
PMQs take place every Wednesday at 12:00 PM for 30 minutes. Constituents can apply for tickets through my office. We receive a very limited number of PMQ tickets each month, and they are in high demand, so it is advisable to book some months in advance. Requests are dealt with on a first-come, first-served basis, and will usually be for no more than two tickets per application.

To request tickets, please provide the full names and addresses of individuals attending.

UK Parliament Tours
UK Parliament offers a range of guided tours, giving visitors the chance to explore the building and learn about the work of UK Parliament.

Contact my office if you wish to book an Inside UK Parliament tour, which lasts 75 minutes and is free of charge and open to UK residents. The fascinating tour focuses on how Parliament operates, the role of MPs, and key historical and heritage aspects of the Palace of Westminster.

Big Ben Tour

MPs can book a free official tour of Big Ben on behalf of constituents who want to explore the famous Elizabeth Tower at Parliament. 

This guided tour takes you up a narrow 334-step spiral stairwell to the belfry where Big Ben, the Great Bell, hangs. You will see the inner workings of the clock mechanism, stand next to the world-famous Big Ben bell as it strikes the hour, and step behind the dials each spanning 6.9m in diameter. 

Please note, visitors are required to be aged 11 or over by the date of their visit and children aged 11-17 require adult supervision. 

MPs are only allocated 8 bookings each year.
