Voting record
Based on 9 recorded Commons divisions at Second or Third Reading of bills tracked by Hear, Hear — not a full voting record. “Didn’t vote” means Parliament has no vote recorded for them in that division (absent, abstained, paired, or excused). See the All votes tab below for every division.

How often Sir Iain Duncan Smith voted the same way as most of the Conservative 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 Sir Iain Duncan Smith yet — this only covers what Hear, Hear has fetched so far (see Written questions), not necessarily every question Sir Iain Duncan Smith has ever tabled.
Business costs (IPSA)
£279,599.21 paid out to or for Sir Iain Duncan Smith across 154 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 Sir Iain Duncan Smith’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
No Early Day Motions on file as tabled by Sir Iain Duncan Smith — this only covers motions tabled within Hear, Hear’s current tracking window (see Early Day Motions), not necessarily Sir Iain Duncan Smith’s full record.
All-Party Parliamentary Groups
Sir Iain Duncan Smith 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: DGA Group — about £17,250.50 across 1 group (All-Party Parliamentary Group on Gambling Reform).
Read this carefully: funding is declared by the group (often to pay for a secretariat that runs it), not paid to Sir Iain Duncan Smith personally, and declaring it is a legal requirement rather than a sign of wrongdoing. This only covers groups Sir Iain Duncan Smith 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.
