Information about caretaker MPs

Request

Your report here https://assets.ctfassets.net/s90k6prbkeee/liyxKKi27aohyqS4bW3lf/ee296c890b9deee9d1edf4e5881c1006/Extended_absence_report_-_March_2023.pdf refers to the concept of a "caretaker MP nominated by [a] political party".

A similar reference appears elsewhere on your website: https://www.ipsaonline.org.uk/guidance/leave-and-holidays

Please can you provide me with:

  1. An electronic copy of any recorded information you hold regarding the role of 'caretaker MP'.

  2. A list of all persons who have been nominated as caretaker MPs, and for whom they are caretaking, in the last 10 years.

Response

I can confirm that we do not hold information relevant to your request.

Any information about the role of a "caretaker MP", and those who may have held this position is a matter for the House of Commons and not IPSA.

You should redirect your request to foicommons@parliament.uk.

Further information about FOI at the House of Commons can be found on their website.
