About your Member of Parliament

Your MP (Rebecca Harris) represents you, and all of the people who live in Castle Point, at the UK Parliament in Westminster.

MPs split their time between Parliament and their constituency. In Parliament, they debate and vote on new laws, review existing laws, and question the Government.

Recent appearances

• Upcoming Business – Commons: Main Chamber 24 Jan 2025

  Pets (Microchips) Bill: Second Reading – Rebecca Harris. Private Members' Bills

• Employment Rights Bill 21 Oct 2024

  An SME in my constituency once found someone sleeping rough on its premises and offered them a job. Does my hon. Friend agree that, when this Bill is enacted, it is very unlikely that a business will go to such lengths to give someone that kind of break in future?

• Employment Rights Bill 21 Oct 2024

  My constituency also has a lot of seasonal workers and a seaside economy. Does my hon. Friend agree that young people often get their first step on the job ladder through those jobs? They may well not get that opportunity if the legislation is passed.
