Commons is a tool to make it easier to follow and get involved in UK politics.

See an overview of the latest debates from the House of Commons, view the upcoming schedule, or search for an MP to find what they have been involved in recently. For quicker access you can add them to your favourites list or add a widget to your homescreen to keep up to date with their activities in parliament.

As well as recent debate activity, each MP profile displays their career history, an overview of their voting tendencies, and links to relevant social media, websites and contact information.

The data shown is collated from TheyWorkForYou, Wikipedia and the official Parliament.uk website.

Permissions:
- Location services can be used to quickly find the MP who represents your current location. The permission is only used if you press on the Location button in the search form. On Android Marshmallow and above this permission will be requested only when you press this button.

Content rating:
- "App can contain references to illegal drugs" - Debates in parliament may discuss drug-related topics, which would be shown in the Debates feeds on the app home page or on MPs' profiles.

- "Personal information shared with third party" - If you press the Location button in the search form, location services will determine the postcode nearest your location and that postcode will be used to search on www.theyworkforyou.com. The app does not store this information or send it anywhere else.
