Guidance on combining of small-value expense items

As part of our regular publication of all MPs’ claims for business costs and expenses, we now aggregate any small-value items that fall under the ‘Stationery Purchase’ expense type (excluding printer cartridges) and publish them as a total for each invoice or receipt submitted. In practice, this means if an MP submits a receipt for £5 worth of stationery, we will publish that £5 worth of stationery has been claimed – as is the case for most other expense types.

As this is an internal process, IPSA has not created any guidance relating to this aggregation of stationery costs, and does not therefore hold the information you request.
