Written questions to government

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

Business costs (IPSA)

£309,109.03 paid out to or for Sarah Olney across 449 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 Sarah Olney’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 — £266,102.74 (245 claims)

Office Costs — £42,778.41 (202 claims)

Early Day Motions

Sarah Olney has tabled 3 Early Day Motions on file (as primary sponsor), drawing 72 sponsor signatures in total across them.

See Early Day Motions for what this does and doesn’t cover.

All-Party Parliamentary Groups

Sarah Olney 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 Ethnic Minority Business Owners — Co-Chair

Declared funding: Lending Standards Board (£17,747).

All-Party Parliamentary Group on Ethnicity Transplantation and Transfusion — Officer

Declared funding: National Black, Asian, Mixed Race, and Minority Ethnic Transplant Alliance (NBTA) (£10,501-12,000).

Loan Charge and Taxpayer Fairness All-Party Parliamentary Group — Vice Chair

Declared funding: Loan Charge Action Group (£34,501-36,000).

Who funds these groups

Biggest declared funder across these groups: Loan Charge Action Group — about £35,250.50 across 1 group (Loan Charge and Taxpayer Fairness All-Party Parliamentary Group).

Loan Charge Action Group — about £35,250.50, 1 group

Lending Standards Board — about £17,747.00, 1 group

National Black, Asian, Mixed Race, and Minority Ethnic Transplant Alliance (NBTA) — about £11,250.50, 1 group

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