    Please do NOT make the same FOI request to BOTH the House of Commons and the House of Commons Commission
  
  Requests to each of these authorities are sent to the same Commons FOI team.
  
  The House of Commons is the lower house of the UK Parliament.  The House of Commons and House of Lords make the law of the United Kingdom through Acts of Parliament.
  
  The House of Commons also holds the Government to account.
  
  You can make requests for records held by committees of the House (e.g. the Public Accounts Committee) to the House of Commons.
  
  The Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards is an independent officer of the House of Commons* so requests to the Commissioner and their office can be made to the House of Commons.
