Most bills only reach a vote at Second or Third Reading, and plenty never get one, so “no recorded vote yet” usually just means the bill hasn’t had a division (or we couldn’t match one to it) — not that Dame Diana Johnson avoided it. Click a bill for Parliament’s own page.

Business costs (IPSA)

£282,670.42 paid out to or for Dame Diana Johnson across 293 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 Dame Diana Johnson’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.
