Voting record
Based on 9 recorded Commons divisions at Second or Third Reading of bills tracked by Hear, Hear — not a full voting record. “Didn’t vote” means Parliament has no vote recorded for them in that division (absent, abstained, paired, or excused). See the All votes tab below for every division.

Every Commons division on file for Liz Twist — amendments, motions and opposition-day votes as well as bills. Took part in 1,794 of 2,121 (85%).
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 Liz Twist yet — this only covers what Hear, Hear has fetched so far (see Written questions), not necessarily every question Liz Twist has ever tabled.
Business costs (IPSA)
£325,043.08 paid out to or for Liz Twist across 367 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 Liz Twist’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 Liz Twist — this only covers motions tabled within Hear, Hear’s current tracking window (see Early Day Motions), not necessarily Liz Twist’s full record.
All-Party Parliamentary Groups
Liz Twist is a listed officer of 4 All-Party Parliamentary Groups on file. See APPGs for the full register and the biggest funders overall.
Biggest declared funder across these groups: Samaritans — about £8,250.50 across 1 group (All-Party Parliamentary Group on Suicide and Self-Harm Prevention).
Read this carefully: funding is declared by the group (often to pay for a secretariat that runs it), not paid to Liz Twist personally, and declaring it is a legal requirement rather than a sign of wrongdoing. This only covers groups Liz Twist 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.
