Bob Blackman

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.

Every Commons division on file for Bob Blackman — amendments, motions and opposition-day votes as well as bills. Took part in 2,084 of 2,376 (88%).

Covers 9 Mar 2016 to 11 Sep 2026 — Parliament’s votes data doesn’t go back further. “No vote recorded” is Parliament’s own list of members with nothing recorded for that division: it can mean absent, deliberately abstaining, paired, or excused, and the data doesn’t say which.

Government & opposition roles

No government or shadow front-bench post on file for Bob Blackman — most MPs never hold one, so this is the normal state for a backbencher, not a gap in the data.

Business costs (IPSA)

£333,471.10 paid out to or for Bob Blackman across 223 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 Bob Blackman’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

Bob Blackman has tabled 6 Early Day Motions on file (as primary sponsor), drawing 60 sponsor signatures in total across them. This only counts motions Bob Blackman personally tabled — not motions Bob Blackman 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

Bob Blackman is a listed officer of 6 All-Party Parliamentary Groups on file. See APPGs for the full register and the biggest funders overall.

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