Voting record
Based on 9 recorded Commons divisions at Second or Third Reading of bills tracked by Hear, Hear — not a full voting record. “Didn’t vote” means Parliament has no vote recorded for them in that division (absent, abstained, paired, or excused). See the All votes tab below for every division.

Every Commons division on file for Nick Thomas-Symonds — amendments, motions and opposition-day votes as well as bills. Took part in 1,488 of 2,376 (63%).
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 Nick Thomas-Symonds yet — this only covers what Hear, Hear has fetched so far (see Written questions), not necessarily every question Nick Thomas-Symonds has ever tabled.
Business costs (IPSA)
£272,830.93 paid out to or for Nick Thomas-Symonds across 165 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 Nick Thomas-Symonds’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 Nick Thomas-Symonds — this only covers motions tabled within Hear, Hear’s current tracking window (see Early Day Motions), not necessarily Nick Thomas-Symonds’s full record.
All-Party Parliamentary Groups
Nick Thomas-Symonds isn’t listed as an officer of any All-Party Parliamentary Group on file — true of most MPs. See APPGs for the full register.
