Written questions to government

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

Business costs (IPSA)

£201,776.16 paid out to or for Josh Babarinde across 189 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 Josh Babarinde’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 — £132,221.15 (7 claims)

Office Costs — £43,763.03 (158 claims)

Accommodation — £22,225.12 (18 claims)

Josh Babarinde has tabled 1 Early Day Motion on file (as primary sponsor), drawing 38 sponsor signatures in total across them.

All-Party Parliamentary Groups

Josh Babarinde 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 for Households in Temporary Accommodation — Officer

Declared funding: Justlife Foundation (£28,501-30,000); Shared Health Foundation (£33,001-34,500).

Social, Cooperative, and Community Economy All-Party Parliamentary Group — Deputy Chair

Declared funding: Social Enterprise UK (£1,501-3,000).

Who funds these groups

Biggest declared funder across these groups: Shared Health Foundation — about £33,750.50 across 1 group (All-Party Parliamentary Group for Households in Temporary Accommodation).

Shared Health Foundation — about £33,750.50, 1 group

Justlife Foundation — about £29,250.50, 1 group

Social Enterprise UK — about £2,250.50, 1 group

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