About your Member of Parliament

Your MP (Sean Woodcock) represents you, and all of the people who live in Banbury, 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.
