About your Member of Parliament

Your MP (Tan Dhesi) represents you, and all of the people who live in Slough, 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.
