Business costs (IPSA)

£309,974.59 paid out to or for Sir Mark Hendrick across 280 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 Sir Mark Hendrick’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.

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