MPs David Mowat and Helen Jones
BOTH MPs in the town can officially begin their return to office after being sworn into Parliament.
Warrington South MP David Mowat and Warrington North MP Helen Jones retained their seats at the General Election earlier this month.
Labour’s Mrs Jones took her oath of allegiance to the Crown on Tuesday, while Mr Mowat was sworn in today.
Prior to completing the process, no MPs are allowed to take part in a debate or vote.
MPs queued up in order of ‘seniority’ before being invited to take the oath of allegiance.
Hanging around in London waiting to be sworn in today.
