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.

Business costs (IPSA)

£280,302.32 paid out to or for Janet Daby across 176 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 Janet Daby’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 — £242,114.64 (3 claims)

Early Day Motions

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

All-Party Parliamentary Groups

Janet Daby is a listed officer of 1 All-Party Parliamentary Group on file. See APPGs for the full register and the biggest funders overall.

All-Party Parliamentary Group on Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia — Chair & Registered Contact
Declared funding: Sickle Cell Society (£25,501-27,000).
Who funds these groups

Biggest declared funder across these groups: Sickle Cell Society — about £26,250.50 across 1 group (All-Party Parliamentary Group on Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia).

Sickle Cell Society — about £26,250.50, 1 group

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