What can Andrew Stunnell do to help you?
Many people think that their MP is there to solve all their problems for them: this is not the case. MPs are there to help only with those matters for which Parliament or central government is responsible. Problems often arise with work carried out by central government departments and your MP will be able to help you with such areas as:
• Tax problems involving the Inland Revenue and Customs and Excise Departments (but not the council tax which is paid to your local authority);
• Problems dealt with by the Department of Health such as hospitals and the National Health Service (but not problems with the social services department of your local authority);
• Problems dealt with by the Department for Work and Pensions such as benefits, pensions and national insurance;
• Problems dealt with by the Home Office such as immigration and matters such as school closures and grants which are dealt with by the Department for Education and Skills (but not day to day problems involving schools which are run by their governors and your local education authority).
Your MP is not there to help you in private disputes with neighbours, with an employer, with family matters or with companies who have sold you faulty goods; nor, for example, can they interfere with decisions made by courts.
