Written questions to government

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

Business costs (IPSA)

£280,005.05 paid out to or for Aphra Brandreth across 268 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 Aphra Brandreth’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.

Early Day Motions

No Early Day Motions on file as tabled by Aphra Brandreth — this only covers motions tabled within Hear, Hear’s current tracking window (see Early Day Motions), not necessarily Aphra Brandreth’s full record.

All-Party Parliamentary Groups

Aphra Brandreth 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 Transport Safety — Vice Chair
Declared funding: Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB) (£4,501-6,000); RAC Limited (£4,501-6,000); British Numberplate Manufacturing Association (£4,501-6,000); Leigh Day (£4,501-6,000).
All-Party Parliamentary Group on Motor Neurone Disease — Vice Chair
No declared funding on file.
Who funds these groups

Biggest declared funder across these groups: British Numberplate Manufacturing Association — about £5,250.50 across 1 group (All-Party Parliamentary Group for Transport Safety).

British Numberplate Manufacturing Association — about £5,250.50, 1 group
Leigh Day — about £5,250.50, 1 group
Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB) — about £5,250.50, 1 group
RAC Limited — 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 Aphra Brandreth personally, and declaring it is a legal requirement rather than a sign of wrongdoing. This only covers groups Aphra Brandreth 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.
