Members of Parliament have four important responsibilities: to pass
laws, ensure that the government performs its duties satisfactorily,
represent the views and aspirations of the people of their constituency
in Parliament and to approve and oversee the financial proposals of the
government. Debates, Questions and Private Member Bills are important
mechanisms by which MPs fulfil their responsibilities. Attendance during
Parliament Sessions also indicates an MPs commitment to give effect to
his role.
Note: Ministers represent the government in debates, so
we do not report their participation.  They do not sign the attendance
register, ask questions, or introduce private member bills.
