List of the latest MPs expenses claims

Request

Please send me the full list of the latest MPs expenses claims and their office staffing salary claims, and office expenses claims. These will include the Scottish claims e.g., Ian Blackford SNP. I do not know the number of the Scottish contingent who attend PM Question Time.

Response

I can confirm that we hold information relevant to your request, but it is subject to a Refusal Notice under sections 21 and 22 of the FOIA.

These exemptions apply where information is reasonably accessible by other means (FOIA, s 21) or is intended for future publication (FOIA, s .22).

IPSA routinely publishes information about MPs’ business costs on its website. A guide to MPs’ Staffing and Business Costs can be found on our website.

Annual costs are published here.

You can also search for an individual MP. On the page for an individual MP you can either check under each heading or download all the business cost data as a .csv file.

Please note that in light of the murder of Sir David Amess, IPSA is seeking fresh expert advice on what and how we publish MPs’ business and staffing costs. Whilst this review is underway, we have postponed the publication of expenditure information due in November.

This and the annual data for 2020/21 are now due to be published on 20 January 2022.
