Voting record
Based on 9 recorded Commons divisions at Second or Third Reading of bills tracked by Hear, Hear — not a full voting record. “Didn’t vote” means Parliament has no vote recorded for them in that division (absent, abstained, paired, or excused). See the All votes tab below for every division.

How often Tony Vaughan voted the same way as most of the Labour party, across every recorded division. Parliament doesn’t publish whether a vote was officially whipped, so this is our best estimate from the public record — not a confirmed fact.
Government & opposition roles
No government or shadow front-bench post on file for Tony Vaughan — most MPs never hold one, so this is the normal state for a backbencher, not a gap in the data.

Written questions to government
No written questions on file for Tony Vaughan yet — this only covers what Hear, Hear has fetched so far (see Written questions), not necessarily every question Tony Vaughan has ever tabled.
Business costs (IPSA)
£251,893.82 paid out to or for Tony Vaughan across 262 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 Tony Vaughan’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.
Early Day Motions
No Early Day Motions on file as tabled by Tony Vaughan — this only covers motions tabled within Hear, Hear’s current tracking window (see Early Day Motions), not necessarily Tony Vaughan’s full record.
All-Party Parliamentary Groups
Tony Vaughan is a listed officer of 4 All-Party Parliamentary Groups on file. See APPGs for the full register and the biggest funders overall.
Biggest declared funder across these groups: Refugee Council — about £3,750.50 across 1 group (All-Party Parliamentary Group on Refugees).
Read this carefully: funding is declared by the group (often to pay for a secretariat that runs it), not paid to Tony Vaughan personally, and declaring it is a legal requirement rather than a sign of wrongdoing. This only covers groups Tony Vaughan 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.
