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.

Employment & business

Written questions to government

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

Business costs (IPSA)

£354,135.22 paid out to or for Andrew Bowie across 157 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 Andrew Bowie’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 — £241,459.64 (13 claims)
Office Costs — £39,885.04 (109 claims)

Early Day Motions

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

All-Party Parliamentary Groups

Andrew Bowie is a listed officer of 2 All-Party Parliamentary Groups on file. See APPGs for the full register and the biggest funders overall.

All-Party Parliamentary Group on Cabin Air Quality — Officer
Declared funding: Brightside Strategy (£9,001-10,500).
Scotch Whisky All-Party Parliamentary Group — Officer
Declared funding: Scotch Whisky Association (£1,501-3,000).
Who funds these groups

Biggest declared funder across these groups: Brightside Strategy — about £9,750.50 across 1 group (All-Party Parliamentary Group on Cabin Air Quality).

Brightside Strategy — about £9,750.50, 1 group
Scotch Whisky Association — 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 Andrew Bowie personally, and declaring it is a legal requirement rather than a sign of wrongdoing. This only covers groups Andrew Bowie 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.
