The House of Commons
The Commons shares our commitment to finding new ways of engaging young people with Parliament. The House of Commons is part of the united Parliament, and is the place where MPs sit and debate. It is continually looking for new ways to modernise and encourage greater public participation. For more information visit www.parliament.uk and www.explore.parliament.uk
