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)

£268,181.58 paid out to or for Rachel Hopkins across 231 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 Rachel Hopkins’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.

By category
Staffing — £224,619.58 (3 claims)
Office Costs — £27,527.50 (143 claims)

Early Day Motions

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

All-Party Parliamentary Groups

Rachel Hopkins 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 for Football Supporters — Vice Chair
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 Rachel Hopkins personally, and declaring it is a legal requirement rather than a sign of wrongdoing. This only covers groups Rachel Hopkins 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.
