Business costs (IPSA)

£296,726.85 paid out to or for Dame Nia Griffith across 160 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 Nia Griffith’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 Dame Nia Griffith — this only covers motions tabled within Hear, Hear’s current tracking window (see Early Day Motions), not necessarily Dame Nia Griffith’s full record.

All-Party Parliamentary Groups

Dame Nia Griffith is a listed officer of 2 All-Party Parliamentary Groups on file. See APPGs for the full register and the biggest funders overall.

All-Party Parliamentary Group for Future Generations — Officer
No declared funding on file.

Read this carefully: funding is declared by the group (often to pay for a secretariat that runs it), not paid to Dame Nia Griffith personally, and declaring it is a legal requirement rather than a sign of wrongdoing. This only covers groups Dame Nia Griffith 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.
