Written questions to government

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

Business costs (IPSA)

£228,464.43 paid out to or for Claire Young across 295 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 Claire Young’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 — £156,999.12 (7 claims)

All-Party Parliamentary Groups

Claire Young is a listed officer of 1 All-Party Parliamentary Group on file. See APPGs for the full register and the biggest funders overall.

Tidy Britain All-Party Parliamentary Group — Vice Chair
Declared funding: Keep Britain Tidy (£4,501-6,000).
Who funds these groups

Biggest declared funder across these groups: Keep Britain Tidy — about £5,250.50 across 1 group (Tidy Britain All-Party Parliamentary Group).

Keep Britain Tidy — about £5,250.50, 1 group

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