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 Christine Jardine yet — this only covers what Hear, Hear has fetched so far (see Written questions), not necessarily every question Christine Jardine has ever tabled.

Business costs (IPSA)

£337,083.33 paid out to or for Christine Jardine across 220 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 Christine Jardine’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.

Staffing — £229,505.57 (1 claim)

Antisemitism Policy Trust — about £6,750.50, 1 group
Dignity in Dying — about £6,750.50, 1 group

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