A copy of ALL expenses claims made by Jackie Doyle-Price MP
Request
Please could you e-mail me a copy of ALL expenses claims (regardless of size) made by my local MP, Jackie Doyle-Price, since she took office as MP for Thurrock in 2010?
Response
IPSA holds the information that you request.
IPSA publishes details of all claims for business costs and expenses on our website every two months, three months in arrears. You can view the published information via this link to our publication website.
For your reference, the next publication date is 9 January 2014, which will cover those claims processed by IPSA during August to September 2013. Claims subsequently processed by IPSA will follow in future publications.
The FOIA states that information that is accessible by other means is not subject to release. Therefore, as the information you have requested is already available on our website, it is exempt from disclosure under section 21 of the FOIA (information accessible to applicant by other means).
Section 22(1) of the FOIA states that information intended for future publication is exempt from release.
We have considered whether the public interest in releasing the information outweighs the application of the exemption. It is our opinion that the public interest is best served by publishing a full list rather than on an ad hoc basis, as in this way a clear and complete set of information is published, avoiding any potential confusion. It is for this reason that the application of the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosure at this stage.
