JULIA Gillard has confirmed she will remain in Parliament following the next election, whether or not she wins or loses.

Following media reports the Prime Minister was avoiding questions over her political future, her office this morning sought to clarify the matter.

"The PM is focused on securing a Labor majority government at the next election and will serve a full term," Ms Gillard's spokesman said.

"She'll be continuing to work hard with her team to keep building a stronger, smarter and fairer Australia well into the future."

"That means implementing her plan for better schools, DisabilityCare Australia and making sure the economy stays resilient."

If Ms Gillard maintains her commitment she would be the first Prime Minister since Gough Whitlam to remain in Parliament after losing an election.

Ms Gillard is elected in the Melbourne seat of Lalor with a margin of 22.15 per cent.

The election will be held on September 14.
