No government or shadow front-bench post on file for James Naish — most MPs never hold one, so this is the normal state for a backbencher, not a gap in the data.

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

Business costs (IPSA)

£207,835.82 paid out to or for James Naish across 255 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 James Naish’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 — £141,382.65 (6 claims)

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

All-Party Parliamentary Groups

James Naish is a listed officer of 4 All-Party Parliamentary Groups on file. See APPGs for the full register and the biggest funders overall.

All-Party Parliamentary Group for Moldova — Officer
No declared funding on file.

Declared funding: East Midlands Councils (£28,501-30,000).

Connect — about £51,750.50, 1 group
The Fusion Cluster — about £35,250.50, 1 group
East Midlands Councils — about £29,250.50, 1 group

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