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. Click a division title for Parliament’s own page for it.
Simon Lightwood currently holds 2 government or shadow front-bench posts. See Government for who else currently holds one.

No written questions on file for Simon Lightwood yet — this only covers what Hear, Hear has fetched so far (see Written questions), not necessarily every question Simon Lightwood has ever tabled.
£339,820.19 paid out to or for Simon Lightwood across 207 claims — combining every financial year on file, not just the current one — covering office costs, accommodation, travel, and bought-in/temporary staffing. 1 claim on file weren’t paid out (rejected, withdrawn, or otherwise not approved). This does not include Simon Lightwood’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.
No Early Day Motions on file as tabled by Simon Lightwood — this only covers motions tabled within Hear, Hear’s current tracking window (see Early Day Motions), not necessarily Simon Lightwood’s full record.
Simon Lightwood isn’t listed as an officer of any All-Party Parliamentary Group on file — true of most MPs. See APPGs for the full register.
