In the United Kingdom's 2024 general election, 650 members of Parliament were elected to the country's House of Commons – one for each parliamentary constituency.[1]
The UK Parliament consists of the elected House of Commons, the House of Lords, and the Sovereign.[2] The new Parliament will first meet on 9 July 2024.[3]
Of the 650 MPs elected, over half (335) have never been an MP before.[4]
