Here's a very handy website for finding out about our MPs actually do, and for keeping tabs on them: TheyWorkForYou.com
It provides citizens with a range of information on their politicians, such as:
* Who their local MP is
* What MPs said in Parliament
* Summaries of how MPs have voted
* Text of debates in Parliament
* Video of MPs talking in debates
* Written questions MPs have submitted to government departments, and the answers they’ve got back
* Email alerts whenever an MP speaks, or a topic is mentioned in Parliament
* Comments and annotations from our users on what has been said
