Housing Matters

If you have any housing enquiries, you MUST first contact one of your local Councillors.

You should contact them first for any housing problems. Please note that if you have exhausted the Council’s complaints procedure you may wish to consider contacting the Local Government Ombudsman scheme.

If you have fully pursued your case with your local Councillor, you can still ask for David’s help in certain cases. Please download the following form:

Surgeries

David holds regular advice surgeries on the first and third Fridays of each month. These appointments are for constituents only. If you are unsure which constituency you live in, click here. To attend the advice surgery please call the casework line on 0207 219 0767 to book an appointment. Bookings for each surgery will open on the Tuesday before the surgery is held.

Advice surgery appointments are in high demand as many constituents would like to speak to their MP face to face. Please note that if you miss an appointment with the MP you will not be offered a further appointment at the advice surgery for a further three months and you will need to write to the MP for him to take up your case. 

Registering to Vote

If you are not registered to vote in Tottenham but you live in the constituency, you can download Haringey Council’s registration form and find information on completing this form here.

Please note that David Lammy MP takes no responsibility for the content of external sites.

Gallery Tickets

Following a ruling by the Speaker of the House of Commons, MPs are now only able to request gallery tickets for people they know personally. Therefore, tickets to ministerial and prime minister’s questions cannot be issued. Sorry for this inconvenience.

It is still possible for members of the public to watch debates from the Strangers’ (Public) Gallery by joining the queue outside St Stephen’s Entrance. A wait of 1 or 2 hours is common during the afternoons. Generally speaking, after ticket holders have left the Gallery and the afternoon queue has been cleared, there is not, except during controversial debates, too much pressure on places in the Gallery. Visitors who wish to minimise waiting times should therefore arrive at about 13.00 or later. The House of Commons Information Office can advise what is to be debated.

The Strangers’ Gallery is open to the public when the House is sitting, which is usually:

• 14.30 - 22.00 or later on Mondays & Tuesdays
• 11.30 - 19.00 on Wednesdays & Thursdays
• 09.30 - 15.00 on sitting Fridays
