9 MPs at Westminster
The DUP is the fourth largest Party within the House of Commons and as well as 9 MPs there are also three DUP members of the House of Lords. The DUP’s Parliamentary team is committed to delivering the best possible service, not just at Westminster, but in helping to build the unionist cause right across the United Kingdom.

In the current Parliamentary term DUP MPs have tabled an average of over 100 questions to Ministers, voted on over 40% of all the business which has passed through the House of Commons and tabled 5 motions. These figures stand above not only other MPs from Northern Ireland but are higher than many members from right across the country. After many years without representation in the Lords the DUP Peers are now also representing Ulster’s interest at the heart of the Parliamentary process.

DUP MPs and Peers have:

  • Worked with Government and the Loyal Orders to secure compensation for halls which have been attacked.
  • Continued to work towards the abolition of the Parades Commission and find a solution to the parades issue.
  • Led opposition to the Eames/Bradley proposals.
  • Supported strong anti-terrorism measures.
  • Promoted the unionist cause amongst all parties at Westminster.

As a Party we want to see the very best representation for Northern Ireland at all levels of Government and will continue to use our strength to build links between Westminster and Stormont, Local Government and the European Parliament.
