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 Daniel Zeichner avoided it. Click a bill for Parliament’s own page.

Written questions to government

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

Business costs (IPSA)

£274,311.28 paid out to or for Daniel Zeichner across 114 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 Daniel Zeichner’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 — £241,001.07 (2 claims)
Office Costs — £25,914.41 (89 claims)

Early Day Motions

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

All-Party Parliamentary Groups

Daniel Zeichner 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 for Data and Emerging Technologies — Chair & Registered Contact
Declared funding: Policy Connect (£37,501-39,000).
All-Party Parliamentary Group on Science and Technology in Agriculture — Vice Chair
Declared funding: Front Foot Communications Ltd (£24,001-25,500).
Who funds these groups

Biggest declared funder across these groups: Policy Connect — about £38,250.50 across 1 group (All-Party Parliamentary Group for Data and Emerging Technologies).

Policy Connect — about £38,250.50, 1 group
Front Foot Communications Ltd — about £24,750.50, 1 group

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