Welcome to the w4mpedia
This website provides an index of useful resources for those working for MPs and other elected representatives in the UK.
It is based on material found at w4mp.org and the Parliamentary Intranet. In order to access material on the intranet you will need a Parliamentary login.
If you are new in your role, there is some useful information on our New Joiners page
The UK Parliament Hotlines List is one of the most useful documents for staff.
