About your Member of Parliament

Your MP (Brendan O'Hara) represents you, and all of the people who live in Argyll, Bute and South Lochaber, at the UK Parliament in Westminster.

In the constituency, their focus is on supporting local people and championing local issues. They have a small staff team who help with casework, maintain their diaries, and monitor their inbox.
