Written questions to government

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

Business costs (IPSA)

£368,041.48 paid out to or for John Lamont across 350 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 John Lamont’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 — £243,665.26 (8 claims)
Office Costs — £55,625.77 (270 claims)
MP Travel — £35,023.74 (9 claims)

Early Day Motions

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

All-Party Parliamentary Groups

John Lamont 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 Food and Drink — Officer
No declared funding on file.
All-Party Parliamentary Group for Hemp Carbon Capture and Rural Development — Officer
Declared funding: Tenacious Carbon (£18,001-19,500).
All-Party Parliamentary Group on Fairtrade — Vice Chair
Declared funding: Fairtrade Foundation (£1,501-3,000).
Who funds these groups

Biggest declared funder across these groups: Tenacious Carbon — about £18,750.50 across 1 group (All-Party Parliamentary Group for Hemp Carbon Capture and Rural Development).

Tenacious Carbon — about £18,750.50, 1 group
Fairtrade Foundation — 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 John Lamont personally, and declaring it is a legal requirement rather than a sign of wrongdoing. This only covers groups John Lamont 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.
