Written questions to government

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

Business costs (IPSA)

£190,983.84 paid out to or for Charlotte Cane across 215 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 Charlotte Cane’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 — £147,484.95 (29 claims)
Office Costs — £22,836.68 (169 claims)
Accommodation — £17,773.30 (5 claims)

Charlotte Cane has tabled 1 Early Day Motion on file (as primary sponsor), drawing 7 sponsor signatures in total across them.

All-Party Parliamentary Groups

Charlotte Cane is a listed officer of 3 All-Party Parliamentary Groups on file. See APPGs for the full register and the biggest funders overall.

All-Party Parliamentary Arts and Heritage Group — Vice Chair
No declared funding on file.
All-Party Parliamentary Group for Classics — Officer
No declared funding on file.
All-Party Parliamentary Group for Craft — Secretary
No declared funding on file.

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