iii Commons Library Briefing, 13 March 2018

Summary Since the 1979 General Election, there have been 2,128 people elected to the House of Commons. Of these, 403 have been women and 1,725 have been men.

This publication lists all Members of the House of Commons starting from the 1979 General Election which took place on the 3 May. It is a new edition of our 2010 publication.

The data has been extracted from the UK Parliament’s database of Members known as the Members’ Names Information Service (MNIS).

We endeavour to ensure the data is up to date and as complete as possible. Errors are sometimes made and appointments are occasionally missed. The method of entering data has altered over time so there may be slight inconsistencies in different periods. The newer the information, the more confident we can be of its accuracy. We have not published fields on Committee membership data in this edition.

This publication aims to not only display the members of the House of Commons in this period but allows us to check the data that we hold. If you do spot any errors or missing data, please contact us on [email protected]. We only hold data on certain roles, honours or posts.

The data for this publication was extracted from MNIS on the 31st January 2018.

The data shown in this publication can be downloaded in JSON format in the attached file: members-since-1979.json. Due to the complexities with the data, some manual changes have been made to the PDF output. Consequently, the json file below will not match exactly with the published document.

You can access live data on members elected to Parliament since the 1979 General Election in XML format through the Members Names Information Service (MNIS) with this link.

To request this data in JSON format add "application/json" in either the accept or content-type request header of your http request. For further information on downloading machine-readable data on MPs from MNIS please see the documentation.

iv Members of the House of Commons since 1979

Glossary Fields The possible fields for each MP are as follows, along with a brief explanation or their criteria: Name: This is the MP’s ‘preferred name’ as recorded by the

Journal Office on 31st January 2018 or on their last day of service in the House of Commons. If they have left the House and have subsequently changed their name or been awarded a title, they may now be known as a different name or title. We have included all titles except for Mr/Miss/Mrs/Ms. We have done this to avoid confusion should names have changed since leaving the House of Commons but also in order to avoid offence by leaving out titles awarded by honours or qualifications.

Member for: This is the MP’s constituency/election history. This field shows the constituencies they have represented and illustrates any breaks of service.

Party: This field lists their party allegiance history, it continues in to the Lords if they have left the Commons and changed allegiance there.

First elected: This is date in which an MP was first elected to the House of Commons. If ‘(by)’ is present, their entry was at a by-election. If not, they were first elected at a general election.

Maiden speech: This field lists their House of Commons maiden speech date and the corresponding Hansard reference.

Also contested: This field displays any occasions where the Member has stood unsuccessfully for election to the House of Commons.

Posts: As with party allegiance, a record of posts held by each member continues into the House of Lords if on the database. This is as complete a record as possible but there may be some omissions. Duplicate roles maybe indicate a change in the department that role falls under, joint posts may be indicated separately.

o Ministerial posts: This field shows government posts held. Please note, not all instances will have been recorded. We hold data on secretaries of state and ministers. We do not hold information on parliamentary private secretaries. The method of entering data has altered over time so there may be slight inconsistencies in the way these are described (e.g. Minister or Minister of State).

o Opposition posts: As for ministerial posts but with any recorded posts in opposition. This includes posts in parties who were not part of the official opposition if recorded on the database.

o Other posts: This field displays any recorded parliamentary/party posts that do not come under the category of government or opposition posts.

v Commons Library Briefing, 13 March 2018

Entered House of Lords: This is for House of Commons Members since 1979 who have subsequently qualified to sit in the House of Lords. The field lists the “date of announcement”. If the date is starred*, the “date of announcement” is not available and we have consequently used the “date of introduction”.

Honours/awards: This field lists any honours or awards received, including appointments to the Privy Council or if a Member has been called to the bar as a QC. Below is a key explaining what all the abbreviations mean. If honours have been awarded before or after being a Member of the House of Commons, they may not have been captured on the database.

Date of birth: This field will appear if the data is available and recorded on the database. In some cases, if a specific day is unknown, the data may show the 1st or the middle date of the month/year.

Date of Death: If applicable, this field will show if the data is recorded on the database. In some cases, if a specific day is unknown, the data may show the 1st or the middle date of the month/year.

Gender: Male or Female

1. Background

1.1 Gender There were 208 female MPs elected at the 2017 General Election (32% of all MPs) – the highest ever number and proportion. There were 19 female MPs in 1979, 3% of the total. The number of female MPs rose slowly over the next three parliaments to 60 in 1992. With the 1997 Labour landslide, the number of women MPs doubled to 120. That number fell back to 118 after the 2001 election but rose again in at subsequent general elections.

1.2 Age In the period from 1979 to 2017, the average age of MPs at elections has been consistently around 50 years. From 1997 to 2005 the average age of MPs elected rose, from 49.3 years in 1997 to 51.2 years in 2005, before falling to 50.5 in 2017.

In 2017, 52.2% (339) of those elected were aged over 50. This is lower than in 2005 (56.2%), and very similar to in 2015 (52.8%). The proportion of MPs aged 70 and over increased from 2.5% (16) in 2010 to 4.3% (28) in 2017 – the highest share since 1979. In the current Parliament, the number of MPs aged under 30 increased to 14 (2.2%), the highest proportion ever other than 15 in 2010 (2.3%). Table 3: Age of MPs at General Elections 1979 to 2017

1.3 Ethnicity As an individual’s ethnicity is self-defined, it is hard to obtain complete records of MPs’ ethnicity, particularly historically. It is generally stated that the first non-white MPs since World War II were elected in 1987, when four Labour MPs were from a non-white background.

1.4 Occupation The British General Election of… series of books provide analyses of occupations of candidates and MPs at each election. 1 The 2017 edition has not yet been published.

The historic data is restricted to Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat parties, but gives a reasonably consistent guide to the occupational background of MPs over the period from 1979-2010.2 The 2015 dataset also includes Scottish National Party MPs. The following table summarises the main occupation groups of MPs elected up to 2015.
