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

Business costs (IPSA)

£184,536.40 paid out to or for Graham Stringer across 172 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 Graham Stringer’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 — £113,306.41 (1 claim)
Accommodation — £39,010.50 (69 claims)

Early Day Motions

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

All-Party Parliamentary Groups

Graham Stringer 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 Defending Democracy — Vice Chair
No declared funding on file.
All-Party Parliamentary Group on Freedom of Speech — Deputy Chair
No declared funding on file.
All-Party Parliamentary Group on Pandemic Response and Recovery — Co-Chair
No declared funding on file.

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