The House of Commons consists of 650 members, who are known as 'Members of Parliament' or 'MPs'. Each Member of Parliament represents a single constituency. Once elected, an MP will normally serve until the next dissolution of Parliament or until death. However, they may be expelled if they engage in serious misconduct or criminal activity.
When speaking in the House, Members may not refer to each other by
name. If they wish to refer to an MP of the same party, an MP may say "My Honorable
Friend", whereas an MP of a different party may be referred to as
"The Honorable Member for [constituency]".
