Written questions to government

No written questions on file for Ed Davey yet — this only covers what Hear, Hear has fetched so far (see Written questions), not necessarily every question Ed Davey has ever tabled.

Business costs (IPSA)

£302,685.15 paid out to or for Ed Davey across 177 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 Ed Davey’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.

By category

Staffing — £268,809.58 (2 claims)

Office Costs — £33,875.57 (175 claims)

Early Day Motions

Ed Davey has tabled 1 Early Day Motion on file (as primary sponsor), drawing 39 sponsor signatures in total across them. This only counts motions Ed Davey personally tabled — not motions Ed Davey 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.

Most recent tabled

Impact of the Iran war on transport costs — tabled 2026-04-13, 39 sponsors

All-Party Parliamentary Groups

Ed Davey is a listed officer of 3 All-Party Parliamentary Groups on file. See APPGs for the full register and the biggest funders overall.

All-Party Parliamentary Group for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community — Vice Chair

Declared funding: Ahmadiyya Muslim Community UK (£6,001-7,500).

All-Party Parliamentary Group on Primodos — Vice Chair

No declared funding on file.

All-Party Parliamentary Group on the Republic of Korea — Chair & Registered Contact

No declared funding on file.

Who funds these groups

Biggest declared funder across these groups: Ahmadiyya Muslim Community UK — about £6,750.50 across 1 group (All-Party Parliamentary Group for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community).

Ahmadiyya Muslim Community UK — about £6,750.50, 1 group

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