How MPs Can Help

Mark can help you with matters for which central government or Parliament is responsible, for example:

• Immigration issues dealt with by the Home Office
• Tax problems involving HM Revenue and Customs.
• Benefits difficulties dealt with by the Department for Work and Pensions (but not council tax or housing benefit.)

If you have a specific issue you would like to take up with a government department or minister, Mark can also write to the relevant person on your behalf.

Mark has no jurisdiction over private matters such as employment disputes or customer complaints, and he is not allowed to interfere with or try to influence legal cases.

Mark will always try to deal as best he can with every case he is contacted about, however strictly speaking he does not have jurisdiction over areas dealt with by the local council or the Greater London Authority and Mayor of London.
