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.

Written questions to government

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

Business costs (IPSA)

£248,536.78 paid out to or for Sarah Gibson across 183 claims — combining every financial year on file, not just the current one — covering office costs, accommodation, travel, and bought-in/temporary staffing. 1 claim on file weren’t paid out (rejected, withdrawn, or otherwise not approved). This does not include Sarah Gibson’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 — £182,405.92 (2 claims)

All-Party Parliamentary Groups

Sarah Gibson 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 Group for Social Science and Policy — Officer
Declared funding: Palace Yard Events Limited (£19,501-21,000).
Future Homes, Skills and Innovation All-Party Parliamentary Group — Officer
Declared funding: Devo Agency (£12,001-13,500).
Who funds these groups

Biggest declared funder across these groups: Palace Yard Events Limited — about £20,250.50 across 1 group (All-Party Parliamentary Group for Social Science and Policy).

Palace Yard Events Limited — about £20,250.50, 1 group
Devo Agency — about £12,750.50, 1 group

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