Most bills only reach a vote at Second or Third Reading, and plenty never get one, so “no recorded vote yet” usually just means the bill hasn’t had a division (or we couldn’t match one to it) — not that Sir James Cleverly avoided it. Click a bill for Parliament’s own page.

Written questions to government

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

Business costs (IPSA)

£276,468.39 paid out to or for Sir James Cleverly across 120 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 Sir James Cleverly’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 Sir James Cleverly — this only covers motions tabled within Hear, Hear’s current tracking window (see Early Day Motions), not necessarily Sir James Cleverly’s full record.

All-Party Parliamentary Groups

Sir James Cleverly is a listed officer of 1 All-Party Parliamentary Group on file. See APPGs for the full register and the biggest funders overall.

All-Party Parliamentary Group on Breast Cancer — Officer
Declared funding: Breast Cancer Now (£7,501-9,000).
Who funds these groups

Biggest declared funder across these groups: Breast Cancer Now — about £8,250.50 across 1 group (All-Party Parliamentary Group on Breast Cancer).

Breast Cancer Now — about £8,250.50, 1 group

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