Is Anneliese my MP?

Anneliese is the MP for the Oxford East constituency. You can find out if you live in the constituency here.

Who else can help me?

If you feel that your problem really concerns a local council (e.g. dustbins, housing, road repairs or public lavatories) rather than central government, then you may wish to contact your local councillor in the first place as they will be best placed to help you. You can, of course, contact Anneliese if you are still not happy with the service you are receiving from the council.

Oxfordshire has a two-tier system of local government. This means that your council services are provided by two different councils.

Oxford City Council run services such as planning, leisure and waste collection, while Oxfordshire County Council is responsible for running services such as libraries, schools and social care.

In Oxfordshire, there is one county council (Oxfordshire County Council) and five district councils (Oxford City Council, Cherwell, South Oxfordshire, Vale of White Horse and West Oxfordshire).

You can find out who your local councillors are here.

Do I need anything before I get in touch?

If you plan on getting in touch with Anneliese about an issue or concern, there are a few useful things you can provide that will help your case to be dealt with more efficiently.

When you get in touch, please provide your full name and address, including your postcode

If you are getting in touch about a immigration issue, you will need to provide a Home Office reference number if you have one. The Home Office reference number is the first letter of your surname followed by 6 or 7 digits eg M1234567.

If you are getting in touch about a benefits case, you will need to provide a National Insurance (NI).

If you have an ongoing case with Anneliese, please get your reference number ready before you ring or email to follow up on your case. Your reference number will start with AN followed by 5 numbers eg AN12345

When does Anneliese hold advice surgeries?

Anneliese holds surgeries twice a month on Fridays.

Surgeries are by appointment only. This is in order to ensure that everyone who wants to see Anneliese has the chance to do so.

If you would like a surgery appointment with Anneliese you can email anneliese.dodds.casework@parliament.uk and an appointment will be arranged for you. It is not always necessary for constituents to attend a surgery for Anneliese to look into their case. You can get in touch via telephone, email or post at any time and your case will be treated in the same manner as those who have attended a surgery appointment.

You can call Anneliese’s office on 01865 595 790 or send a letter to Anneliese Dodds, Unit A, Bishops Mews, Transport Way, Oxford, OX4 6HD.

Anneliese operates a constituency office in Oxford, however the office does not have the facility to see members of the public without an appointment. Additionally, for security reasons visitors without a confirmed appointment will strictly not be seen.

I’m getting in touch on behalf of someone else, can Anneliese still help?

Anneliese cannot take up a case without the permission of the person it concerns. If you are calling on behalf of one of Anneliese’s constituents, Anneliese can offer assistance but it is essential for confidentiality and data protection reasons that we have permission of the person(s) involved.

Will private information be protected?

Any personal information that you give to Anneliese or her staff will be handled confidentially, in line with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you would like information about GDPR please click here.

Why haven’t I had a reply?

Anneliese will make every effort to reply to all correspondence. However, contact with constituents is prioritised based on need, therefore it will take longer for us to respond to a mass-email campaign.

If your email is urgent, you should receive a reply within 1-3 working days. All other correspondence may take up to 5 days to receive a reply.

Will my matter be raised in the House of Commons?

Anneliese has already raised a number of constituents’ concerns in the House of Commons. One way she can do this is through tabling parliamentary questions, which government ministers have to answer. She also raises constituency issues in debates in the House. As Anneliese is a shadow Treasury Minister she is barred from signing up to Private Members’ Bills, unless instructed to do so by her party’s whips, and from some other kinds of parliamentary activity that can be undertaken by backbench MPs.
