About Us

Founded in 2019, Parallel Parliament was created to provide a comprehensive user-friendly platform that unifies information from official sources of the UK politics in one place.

Why Parallel Parliament?

With the abundance of information scattered across different websites and the difficulty of searching them, it can be a challenge to obtain a complete view of an MP's or Department's activities or to find all relevant parliamentary and government publications on a specific topic.

Parallel Parliament eliminates this inconvenience by presenting all the available information in a single, easily searchable resource.

It is widely utilized by MPs, trade organizations, charities, and local authorities to stay informed about the actions of the UK Government and Parliament with our subscription services.

Parallel Parliament Subscriptions allow you to stay on top of the information available through the website through immediate, daily or weekly alerts on an MP, Bills, Department or keyword straight to your inbox.
