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 Jo Platt — amendments, motions and opposition-day votes as well as bills. Took part in 830 of 1,053 (79%).
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 Jo Platt yet — this only covers what Hear, Hear has fetched so far (see Written questions), not necessarily every question Jo Platt has ever tabled.
Business costs (IPSA)
£227,643.55 paid out to or for Jo Platt across 238 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 Jo Platt’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 Jo Platt — this only covers motions tabled within Hear, Hear’s current tracking window (see Early Day Motions), not necessarily Jo Platt’s full record.
All-Party Parliamentary Groups
Jo Platt is a listed officer of 1 All-Party Parliamentary Group on file. See APPGs for the full register and the biggest funders overall.
Biggest declared funder across these groups: Nurtureuk — about £17,250.50 across 1 group (Inclusion and Nurture in Education All-Party Parliamentary Group).
Read this carefully: funding is declared by the group (often to pay for a secretariat that runs it), not paid to Jo Platt personally, and declaring it is a legal requirement rather than a sign of wrongdoing. This only covers groups Jo Platt 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.
