Written questions to government

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

Business costs (IPSA)

£289,788.63 paid out to or for Gareth Bacon across 166 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 Gareth Bacon’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 — £246,229.78 (9 claims)

Early Day Motions

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

All-Party Parliamentary Groups

Gareth Bacon 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 Private Capital — Chair & Registered Contact
No declared funding on file.

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