MPs can help with matters for which central government is directly responsible for. For example:
- Benefits, pensions, National Insurance, and other matters dealt with by the Department for Work and Pensions
- Immigration and other problems dealt with by the Home Office
- Tax issues involving HM Revenue and Customs
- Problems with the NHS
- Problems with the Child Maintenance Service or Child Support Agency
- Education issues, such as schooling or grants
As your MP, I can provide general advice on planning issues and ask that your views are taken into account in planning decisions, but I cannot instruct or influence councillors making the decisions, as this is a council matter. Please note that I also cannot interfere with decisions made in court or offer legal advice.
