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.

Written questions to government

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

Business costs (IPSA)

£262,193.03 paid out to or for Lisa Smart across 199 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office costs, accommodation, travel, and bought-in/temporary staffing. 1 claim on file weren’t paid out (rejected, withdrawn, or otherwise not approved).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 Lisa Smart’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.

All-Party Parliamentary Groups

Lisa Smart 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 Fair Elections — Officer
Declared funding: Make Votes Matter (£46,501-48,000); Unlock Democracy (£46,501-48,000); Fair Vote (£9,001-10,500); Make Votes Matter (£9,001-10,500) and 1 more.
Who funds these groups

Biggest declared funder across these groups: Make Votes Matter — about £57,001.00 across 1 group (All-Party Parliamentary Group for Fair Elections).

Make Votes Matter — about £57,001.00, 1 group
Unlock Democracy — about £47,250.50, 1 group
Fair Vote — about £9,750.50, 1 group
Labour for a New Democracy — about £9,750.50, 1 group

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