I'd tend to agree with Mats here. Since you just want to change
one substring the standard srtring formatting function
is probably easier to use here:

base =
r"http://data.parliament.uk/membersdataplatform/services/mnis/members/query/House={0}/Constituencies"

house = "Commons" # or house = "Lords"

url = base.format(house)
