Owing to the current situation in Iran, Members of Parliament may be receiving requests for assistance from constituents.
There is a new section specific to the situation in Iran at the bottom of the hotlines list and we will endeavour to keep it updated.
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has asked British nationals to register their presence in Bahrain, Israel, Kuwait, Palestine, Qatar and UAE.
British Nationals who are in Iran should read the advice here: https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/iran
Constituents should also follow the FCDO Facebook page for updates: https://www.facebook.com/ForeignCommonwealthAndDevelopmentOffice
We’re coming up to the announcement of the 2026 Parliament’s People Awards, which recognise the inspirational teams and individuals who have impressed and shown dedication and commitment to supporting a thriving parliamentary democracy.
Anybody working for the House of Commons, House of Lords, the Parliamentary Digital Service, or in a constituency office can nominate a colleague who they believe has gone above and beyond in their work to enable UK democracy, and this year’s shortlist of nominations has now been published.
Here at w4mp we are really pleased to see that our own Karen Lawrinson, the mainstay of this site, maintainer of the hotlist, and all-round wonderful colleague has been shortlisted for the Parliamentary In-House Individual of the Year award, not just for the amazing work she does here but for her many other contributions she makes. As the nomination says, “Karen’s work directly improves the resilience, effectiveness, and cohesion of parliamentary teams, enabling staff across the UK to perform their roles with confidence and efficiency.”
For MPs and their staff.
