Hotline telephone numbers
for Members and their Staff.

Last updated:  12 January 2004

Latest revision dated 12 January 2004
Our latest revision includes many extra hotline numbers.

The list of hotline numbers is safely located on the Parliamentary Intranet (PDVN) where they can be seen by anyone with a parliamentary email address.

The list is available there in both PDF and Word format and there are three ways of accessing the list: 

1.     The short way (if you are now on PDVN) is by clicking on either of the links below:
              http://pdvnsco.parliament.uk/intranet/Working4anMP/Hotlines.pdf
              http://pdvnsco.parliament.uk/intranet/Working4anMP/Hotlines.doc

2.     The longer way is to go to the Site Site Index on PDVN, click on letter 'D', and select either the PDF or the Word version as shown here:
      

3.     Another option is to go via the Library's Index of Services page and look under letter 'H' http://hcl1.hclibrary.parliament.uk/resources.asp#h    Click on: 
   Hotlines (Members) - Government department enquiry 'hotlines' for Members and their staff

To repeat, you need to be working on PDVN now to make these connections.

These are for the use of MPs, MEPs (**see below) and their staff ONLY.   DO NOT disclose these numbers to members of the public or to staff in other agencies or the facility may be withdrawn.

The list is updated when there are changes and represents the latest information we have.  If you spot any mistakes or know of any other useful hotline numbers please let us know, using the website's Feedback Form.

We have been asked by one or two agencies to encourage MPs, MEPs and their staff to be sure to use these hotline numbers and NOT the numbers available for the general public.  Here's what they say:  

"Some Members and their staff continue to use the public enquiry line which means we are not always able to give the prompt reply that both they and we would like to happen."

**If you are an MEP, or his/her staff, you do not have access to PDVN (the UK Parliamentary Intranet) so please our Feedback Form to request a copy of the hotlines list.
