This means MPs and parliment have applied the term to the time our representatives spend gaining input from voters in theiir constituancy. As before commons became powerful it was more a lords of the manner position.
At the time when the position was more royal. IE lords and land owners. It allowed the lords to hear requests for alterations on how they managed the constituancy.
Now its more about a meeting where MPs hear from indevidual voters about issues they can help with.
In old UK English surgery had 2 meanings.
