Your MEPs

72 UK MEPs were elected in the European Parliament elections on 4 June 2009. The UK is divided into twelve electoral regions made up of the nations and regions of the UK. Each region has between three and ten MEPs and each MEP in a region represents each person living there:

Eastern - 7, East Midlands - 5, London - 8, North East - 3, North West - 8, South East - 10, South West - 6, West Midlands - 6, Yorkshire and Humber - 6, Wales - 4, Scotland - 6, Northern Ireland - 3.

For example, if you live in Cambridge, all seven Eastern region MEPs represent you and you can contact any or all of them. If you are not sure, please telephone us on 020 7227 4300.

As a result of the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, the UK will gain an extra seat. The decision on which region which will gain the seat has yet to be taken by the UK authorities. Learn more about what MEPs do.
