By nation List of MPs for constituencies in Northern Ireland (2001–2005) List of MPs for constituencies in Scotland (2001–2005) List of MPs for constituencies in Wales (2001–2005) Composition These representative diagrams show the composition of the parties in the 2001 general election. Note: The Scottish National Party and Plaid Cymru sit together as a party group, while Sinn Féin has not taken its seats. This is not the official seating plan of the House of Commons, which has five rows of benches on each side, with the government party to the right of the speaker and opposition parties to the left, but with room for only around two-thirds of MPs to sit at any one time. The effective government majority was slightly higher because Sinn Féin members do not take up their seats and the speaker does not vote. Speaker Michael Martin technically represented Labour in a notional majority. By-elections See the list of United Kingdom by-elections.
