Written questions to government

No written questions on file for Daisy Cooper yet — this only covers what Hear, Hear has fetched so far (see Written questions), not necessarily every question Daisy Cooper has ever tabled.

Business costs (IPSA)

£278,074.20 paid out to or for Daisy Cooper across 71 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 Daisy Cooper’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.
