What hours do MPs work?

Oona King (Author and Former Member of Parliament) gives expert video advice on: Who was your boss?; How much do MPs earn?; Do all MPs get the same salary? and more...

MPs often work from about 8 A.M. It can be earlier. If you're doing TV interviews, you often have to start at 6 A.M., not get up but start, so you're getting up at 4 A.M. You will often go through until about midnight. When Parliament was sitting, midnight would be the average time when I would get home, which is why I'm quite happy not being an MP.
