Frequently Asked Questions
How does Tell Your MP work?
Enter your UK postcode and we instantly look up your Member of Parliament using official Parliamentary data. We then provide you with a direct email link so you can write to them about any issue that matters to you.
Is Tell Your MP free to use?
Yes, completely free. There are no charges, no sign-ups, and no ads.
Where does the MP data come from?
We use the official UK Parliament Members API and postcodes.io. The data is always up to date with the current sitting MP for your constituency.
Can my MP see that I used this website?
No. We simply open your email client with a pre-filled draft. The email comes from your own email address, just as if you had written it yourself. We don't store any data or send anything on your behalf.
Do you store my postcode or personal data?
No. Your postcode is used only to look up your MP in real time. We don't store it, log it, or share it with anyone.
What should I write to my MP about?
Anything that matters to you — local issues, national policy, concerns about public services, or topics you've seen in the news. MPs are elected to represent you, and hearing from constituents helps them understand what matters most.
Will my MP actually read my email?
MPs and their offices do read constituent emails. While you may not always get a personal reply from the MP themselves, your message will be logged and considered. Emails from constituents carry real weight — especially when multiple people write about the same issue.
What if I don't know my postcode?
You can find your postcode on the Royal Mail website at royalmail.com/find-a-postcode by entering your address.
