Written questions to government

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

Business costs (IPSA)

£341,030.82 paid out to or for Kirsty Blackman across 235 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 Kirsty 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.

Kirsty Blackman 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 on Political and Media Literacy — Vice Chair
No declared funding on file.
All-Party Parliamentary Group on Women's Football — Vice Chair
Declared funding: Lexington (£3,001-4,500).
Who funds these groups

Biggest declared funder across these groups: Lexington — about £3,750.50 across 1 group (All-Party Parliamentary Group on Women's Football).

Lexington — about £3,750.50, 1 group

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