Support TheyWorkForYou's work in the new Parliament

TheyWorkForYou is run by mySociety, a small UK charity.

We're a very efficient operation and do a lot with a small team. At the moment TheyWorkForYou, which is used by millions of people each year, is run with less than the equivalent of one full-time person.

If we had a bit more money, we could achieve a lot more.

We want MPs to meet the standards and expectations of the people who elected them - you!

If you share that goal please donate today to enable greater transparency and accountability of the next government.

Parliament has recently passed into law the Solicitors (Scotland) Bill, which comes into operation on the 1st March, 1934, and accordingly we have...

• Clause 4. — (Sessions of the Court.) 18 Jul 1933
