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.

Written questions to government
No written questions on file for Chris Law yet — this only covers what Hear, Hear has fetched so far (see Written questions), not necessarily every question Chris Law has ever tabled.
Business costs (IPSA)
£363,240.01 paid out to or for Chris Law across 294 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 Law’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
Chris Law has tabled 4 Early Day Motions on file (as primary sponsor), drawing 24 sponsor signatures in total across them. This only counts motions Chris Law personally tabled — not motions Chris Law 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
Chris Law 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 Chris Law personally, and declaring it is a legal requirement rather than a sign of wrongdoing. This only covers groups Chris Law 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.
