Business costs (IPSA)

£188,415.61 paid out to or for Ben Obese-Jecty across 166 claims — combining every financial year on file, not just the current one — covering office costs, accommodation, travel, and bought-in/temporary staffing.

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.

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