Covers 9 Mar 2016 to 11 Sep 2026 — Parliament’s votes data doesn’t go back further. “No vote recorded” is Parliament’s own list of members with nothing recorded for that division: it can mean absent, deliberately abstaining, paired, or excused, and the data doesn’t say which.

Government & opposition roles

No government or shadow front-bench post on file for Chris Coghlan — most MPs never hold one, so this is the normal state for a backbencher, not a gap in the data.

Written questions to government

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

Business costs (IPSA)

£227,005.70 paid out to or for Chris Coghlan across 134 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 Coghlan’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 — £180,632.80 (20 claims)

All-Party Parliamentary Group for Financial Markets and Services — Officer
Declared funding: Industry Advisory Group (£13,501-15,000).
All-Party Parliamentary Group for Reserves and Cadets — Vice Chair
No declared funding on file.
Who funds these groups

Biggest declared funder across these groups: Industry Advisory Group — about £14,250.50 across 1 group (All-Party Parliamentary Group for Financial Markets and Services).

Industry Advisory Group — about £14,250.50, 1 group

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