Whip meter Estimate 79%

How often Chris Evans voted the same way as most of the Labour (Co-op) 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 Chris Evans yet — this only covers what Hear, Hear has fetched so far (see Written questions), not necessarily every question Chris Evans has ever tabled.

Business costs (IPSA)

£295,142.20 paid out to or for Chris Evans across 115 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 Chris Evans’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 — £244,432.49 (1 claim)
Accommodation — £23,899.54 (7 claims)

Early Day Motions

No Early Day Motions on file as tabled by Chris Evans — this only covers motions tabled within Hear, Hear’s current tracking window (see Early Day Motions), not necessarily Chris Evans’s full record.

All-Party Parliamentary Groups

Chris Evans 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 Archives and History — Chair & Registered Contact
Declared funding: Archives and Records Association (£1,501-3,000).
All-Party Parliamentary Group for Writers — Chair & Registered Contact
Declared funding: Authors’ Licensing and Collecting Society (£6,001-7,500); Authors’ Licensing and Collecting Society (£6,001-7,500); Authors' Licensing and Collecting Society (£9,001-10,500).
All-Party Parliamentary Group on Customer Service — Chair & Registered Contact
Declared funding: The Institute of Customer Service (£10,501-12,000).
Who funds these groups

Biggest declared funder across these groups: Authors’ Licensing and Collecting Society — about £23,251.50 across 1 group (All-Party Parliamentary Group for Writers).

Authors’ Licensing and Collecting Society — about £23,251.50, 1 group
The Institute of Customer Service — about £11,250.50, 1 group
Archives and Records Association — about £2,250.50, 1 group

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