IPSA publishes latest data on MP funding

Date published: 9 July 2026

IPSA has published details of spending by MPs against their parliamentary budgets, processed between 01 February and 31 March 2026.

The data is searchable by MP name, and in full under the Individual Business Costs tab on our dedicated webpage.

IPSA supports MPs and their staff in fulfilling their duty to their constituents and to Westminster, by providing the necessary funding to run an office, pay staff, and cover work-related travel.

Lee Bridges, Director of Standards and Information at IPSA, says:

"IPSA makes sure MPs receive the funding they need for the work they carry out on behalf of their constituents.

"We also make sure this funding is regulated appropriately, so the public can be reassured its money is being spent correctly.

"Our regular publication of MPs' spending data helps with this reassurance, and is a crucial component of IPSA's commitment to transparency."

Notes to Editors

1. IPSA publishes details of MPs’ staffing and business costs every two months, including claims processed across a two-month period – usually four to five months in arrears from the publication date. The next scheduled publication is in September.

2. IPSA was created in 2009 by the Parliamentary Standards Act. The Act was amended in 2010 by the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act. Together, they gave IPSA three main responsibilities:

  • to regulate MPs’ business costs

  • to determine MPs’ pay and pension arrangements

  • to provide financial support to MPs in carrying out their parliamentary functions

3. IPSA is independent of Parliament and the Government. This allows us to make decisions ourselves, without interference.

4. The Funding Scheme for MPs governs which business costs can be funded. We review our rules regularly and consult the public when we do so.

5. Repayments are made to IPSA by MPs and third parties for a variety of reasons. These include:

  • refunding items for which an MP no longer wishes to claim

  • refunding payment card transactions for which an MP does not wish to claim, and

  • where an MP has received a rebate or refund from a third party, for example on their business rates or utility bill
