The so-called Baby of the House has officially taken his seat as an MP in the Commons, on the second day of swearing in.
Labour MP Sam Carling, who represents North West Cambridgeshire, is the youngest member of the new Parliament at 22.
MPs started the process of making an oath or affirmation of allegiance to the Crown on Tuesday.
The allegiance is a legal requirement and MPs are not allowed to speak in debates, vote or receive their salary until they do so. The same applies to peers in the House of Lords.
