How often Dawn Butler voted the same way as most of the Labour party, across every recorded division. Parliament doesn’t publish whether a vote was officially whipped, so this is our best estimate from the public record — not a confirmed fact.

Written questions to government
No written questions on file for Dawn Butler yet — this only covers what Hear, Hear has fetched so far (see Written questions), not necessarily every question Dawn Butler has ever tabled.
Business costs (IPSA)
£295,487.07 paid out to or for Dawn Butler across 56 claims — combining every financial year on file, not just the current one — covering office costs, accommodation, travel, and bought-in/temporary staffing. This does not include Dawn Butler’s permanent staff’s salaries — typically the biggest single share of an MP’s real costs — which IPSA only publishes once a year, after the year closes, as one aggregate figure, never as individual claims. Some categories (especially travel) are reported by IPSA as one whole-year total rather than itemised by date — marked “Aggregated” below. See MP expenses to filter this to a single year.
Early Day Motions
Dawn Butler has tabled 1 Early Day Motion on file (as primary sponsor), drawing 28 sponsor signatures in total across them. This only counts motions Dawn Butler personally tabled — not motions Dawn Butler may have added their name to as a supporter, which this data source doesn’t track per MP. See Early Day Motions for what this does and doesn’t cover.
All-Party Parliamentary Groups
Dawn Butler is a listed officer of 5 All-Party Parliamentary Groups on file. See APPGs for the full register and the biggest funders overall.
Biggest declared funder across these groups: Big Innovation Centre — about £50,250.50 across 1 group (All-Party Parliamentary Group on Artificial Intelligence).
Read this carefully: funding is declared by the group (often to pay for a secretariat that runs it), not paid to Dawn Butler personally, and declaring it is a legal requirement rather than a sign of wrongdoing. This only covers groups Dawn Butler is a listed officer of — ordinary members aren’t published. Amounts are Parliament’s own figures; where it gave a banded range the midpoint is used, so totals are approximate. Funders are grouped by name, so the same organisation spelled very differently may appear twice.
