Parliament for You
How can I lobby my MP?
You do not need to go to the Commons to lobby me - you can write to or email me, or come to one of my advice sessions.
To see me at the House, a prior appointment is needed, though you can always try your luck if you are there - you may just catch me!
How can I visit Parliament?
If you would like to visit the House of Commons, for a tour or to listen to a debate or a question time, please contact my Commons' office on 020 7219 1102.

Monday and Tuesday: 9am-12pm (full tour)

Question Time and Debates
UK residents can watch laws being made and debates in both Houses by visiting the public galleries when Parliament is in session. Tickets from your MP are necessary to secure entrance to Question Time and Prime Minister's Question Time in the House of Commons. MPs only have a limited allocation of tickets for example about 2 for about 4 Prime Minister's Question Time every year.

The advertisement has been banned in its current form and the ASA has warned L’Oréal not to use digital retouching to misrepresent the effect of their products.
Commenting, Jo Swinson said:
“The beauty and advertising industries need to stop ripping off consumers with dishonest images.
“The banning of this advert, along with the previous ASA rulings banning heavily retouched ads featuring Twiggy, Julia Roberts and Christy Turlington, should act as a wake-up call. Thankfully the advertising regulator has again acknowledged the fraudulent nature of excessive retouching.
“The Royal College of Psychiatrists has spoken out about the harmful influence of the media on body image and has highlighted the airbrushing and digital enhancement used to portray physical perfection as an area of concern.
“There needs to be much more diversity in advertising – different skin colours, body shapes, sizes and ages. Studies show that people want to see more authenticity from brands. Images can be aspirational without being faked.
“The Campaign for Body Confidence challenges the narrow ideal of beauty perpetuated by the media and other industries. Tonight the All Party Parliamentary Group on Body Image is hosting a screening of the documentary Miss Representation which explores the impact on society of such an intense focus on women’s appearance, instead of their achievements.
“The film shows how media misrepresentation and under representation of women results in a leadership gap and the silencing of difference.”
