Tours

MPs can sponsor tours of Parliament for constituents who would like to visit.

Unfortunately, however, as almost one million people work in Mark's constituency but only 71 000 live here, Mark can only sponsor tours for permanent residents of the constituency.

Tours are given to constituents free of charge, and must NOT be sold for profit to third parties.

A full tour takes approximately 75 minutes and takes in Sovereign's Entrance, Norman Porch, Royal Gallery, Prince's Chamber, the House of Lords Chamber, Central Lobby, Voting Lobby, Members' Lobby, the House of Commons Chamber, St Stephen's Hall and Westminster Hall.

A partial tour is the same but misses out the Voting Lobby, Members' Lobby and Commons Chamber. These tours take place when the House is sitting (when debates are taking p

Numbers

The maximum group size is 20. Numbers for groups are restricted by Palace authorities, and it is therefore advisable to book well in advance.
