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 Joe Powell — most MPs never hold one, so this is the normal state for a backbencher, not a gap in the data.

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

Business costs (IPSA)

£243,432.52 paid out to or for Joe Powell across 162 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 Joe Powell’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.
