The largest number of new members will begin being sworn in on Tuesday afternoon, including five Reform MPs and four Greens.
A record number of new MPs have arrived in Parliament as they prepare to be sworn in on Tuesday afternoon.
There are also 63 new Liberal Democrat MPs, four new Green members, as well as four new pro-Palestinian independent MPs. To be officially sworn in MPs have to take a parliamentary oath and then sign a book called the 'Test Roll'. Eventually all MPs will have their own office, but in the meantime, hot-desking spaces and lockers are provided so they "can start helping their constituents immediately," according to Parliament.
Women now make up 40.5% of the Commons, compared with 35% in the last parliament. While there are now 90 minority ethnic MPs, up from 66.
