The Members’ Handbook is a useful guide to the facilities offered to Members by various parts of the House Service, both on the Parliamentary Estate and in the constituencies. It also outlines the responsibilities of a Member of Parliament.
It is hosted on the old Parliamentary Intranet but is not yet available on Parlinet. However the information contained is accessible through ParliNet.
