Receipt for claim by Andy Burnham MP for office costs

IPSA holds the information that you request.

We publish details of all claims made by MPs under the MPs’ Scheme of Business Costs and Expenses (‘the Scheme’) on our publication website. As such, the following information has already been published on our publication website relating to the claims you have requested.

Under the Office Costs Expenditure budget, MPs can claim the costs of running and maintaining their offices. Until 8 May 2015, the costs of hospitality (such as refreshments for constituents) could be claimed under this budget. The latest version of the Scheme no longer permits claims for hospitality.

We have withheld a small amount of personal data under section 40(2) of the FOIA. Section 40(2) provides that personal information about third parties is exempt information if one of the conditions set out in section 40(3) is satisfied. Under the FOI Act disclosure of this information would breach the fair processing principle (Principle 1) of the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA), where it would be unfair to those persons or is confidential.
