Written questions to government

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

Business costs (IPSA)

£155,285.09 paid out to or for Marie Goldman across 89 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 Marie Goldman’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 — £124,205.37 (4 claims)

Early Day Motions

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

All-Party Parliamentary Groups

Marie Goldman is a listed officer of 2 All-Party Parliamentary Groups on file. See APPGs for the full register and the biggest funders overall.

All-Party Parliamentary Group on Dietary Health — Chair & Registered Contact
Declared funding: Obesity Health Alliance (£6,001-7,500).
East of England All-Party Parliamentary Group — Vice Chair
Declared funding: Inflect (£55,501-57,000).
Who funds these groups

Biggest declared funder across these groups: Inflect — about £56,250.50 across 1 group (East of England All-Party Parliamentary Group).

Inflect — about £56,250.50, 1 group
Obesity Health Alliance — about £6,750.50, 1 group

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