“At midnight tonight, Wednesday 29^th May, Parliament will be dissolved by Royal Proclamation” says Michael Fabricant.  “This will mean that until the General Election there will be no Members of Parliament until MPs are elected or re-elected on 4^th July.  Indeed, elected MPs only actually become MPs when they swear an oath of loyalty to the King in the Chamber House of Commons and witnessed by the Speaker when Parliament is recalled on 9th July.

“However, Parliament recognises that the vital work MPs carry out helping their constituents cannot stop with the dissolution of Parliament so these former MPs still have full access to Government departments and local government as if Dissolution had not taken place.  Constituents with urgent problems can still contact their former MPs after the midnight deadline and these will be acted upon as usual”  Michael explains.

Constituents can still contact Michael with urgent casework via the webform here.  But during the Dissolution of Parliament up until the General Election, this website will be frozen and no further posts will be added.
