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 Simon Hoare yet — this only covers what Hear, Hear has fetched so far (see Written questions), not necessarily every question Simon Hoare has ever tabled.

Business costs (IPSA)

£299,098.93 paid out to or for Simon Hoare across 257 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 Simon Hoare’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 — £210,879.99 (2 claims)
Accommodation — £40,273.44 (65 claims)
Office Costs — £38,164.34 (177 claims)

Early Day Motions

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

Simon Hoare is a listed officer of 3 All-Party Parliamentary Groups on file. See APPGs for the full register and the biggest funders overall.

All-Party Parliamentary Group for Dairy — Vice Chair

All-Party Parliamentary Group on Farming — Officer
Declared funding: Food, Farming & Countryside Commission (£1,501-3,000).
All-Party Parliamentary Group on Local Government — Vice Chair
Declared funding: The Local Government Information Unit (£10,501-12,000).

The Local Government Information Unit — about £11,250.50, 1 group
Dairy UK — about £2,250.50, 1 group
Food, Farming & Countryside Commission — about £2,250.50, 1 group

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