About your Member of Parliament

Your MP (Alec Shelbrooke) represents you, and all of the people who live in Wetherby and Easingwold, 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. In the constituency, their focus is on supporting local people and championing local issues. They have a small staff team who help with casework, maintain their diaries, and monitor their inbox.

I want to put it on the record that Israel has my absolute full support in the action that it is...

• Child Sexual Exploitation: Casey Report 16 Jun 2025
