Voting record
Based on 9 recorded Commons divisions at Second or Third Reading of bills tracked by Hear, Hear — not a full voting record. “Didn’t vote” means Parliament has no vote recorded for them in that division (absent, abstained, paired, or excused). See the All votes tab below for every division.

Every Commons division on file for Chris Hinchliff — amendments, motions and opposition-day votes as well as bills. Took part in 512 of 590 (87%).
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 Hinchliff — 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 Hinchliff yet — this only covers what Hear, Hear has fetched so far (see Written questions), not necessarily every question Chris Hinchliff has ever tabled.
Business costs (IPSA)
£196,512.12 paid out to or for Chris Hinchliff across 221 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 Hinchliff’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
Chris Hinchliff has tabled 2 Early Day Motions on file (as primary sponsor), drawing 38 sponsor signatures in total across them. This only counts motions Chris Hinchliff personally tabled — not motions Chris Hinchliff may have added their name to as a supporter, which this data source doesn’t track per MP. See Early Day Motions for what this does and doesn’t cover.
All-Party Parliamentary Groups
Chris Hinchliff is a listed officer of 1 All-Party Parliamentary Group on file. See APPGs for the full register and the biggest funders overall.
Biggest declared funder across these groups: Shelter — about £63,750.50 across 1 group (All-Party Parliamentary Group on Council and Social Housing).
Read this carefully: funding is declared by the group (often to pay for a secretariat that runs it), not paid to Chris Hinchliff personally, and declaring it is a legal requirement rather than a sign of wrongdoing. This only covers groups Chris Hinchliff 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.
