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.

Whip meter Estimate 85%

How often Chris Bloore 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.

Written questions to government

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

Business costs (IPSA)

£182,858.57 paid out to or for Chris Bloore across 160 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 Chris Bloore’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 — £137,275.47 (2 claims)
Office Costs — £38,445.32 (144 claims)

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