Paragraph
In order to be able to do their work properly, MPs get support from the parliamentary group they belong to and they also have a personal assistant who deals with the post, answers e-mails and attends to all kinds of matters. Moreover, the parliamentary group provides for office workers, information officers, policy staff and a professional secretary. The latter's duties may differ from one parliamentary group to another, but initially, it is always the secretary who is the contact person for the administration.
