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 Alex Burghart yet — this only covers what Hear, Hear has fetched so far (see Written questions), not necessarily every question Alex Burghart has ever tabled.
Business costs (IPSA)
£207,554.97 paid out to or for Alex Burghart across 68 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 Alex Burghart’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.
Early Day Motions
No Early Day Motions on file as tabled by Alex Burghart — this only covers motions tabled within Hear, Hear’s current tracking window (see Early Day Motions), not necessarily Alex Burghart’s full record.
