About your Member of Parliament

Your MP (Alex Baker) represents you, and all of the people who live in Aldershot, 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.
