Liberal Democrat Tiverton and Minehead
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.

How often Rachel Gilmour voted the same way as most of the Liberal Democrat party, across every recorded division. Parliament doesn’t publish whether a vote was officially whipped, so this is our best estimate from the public record — not a confirmed fact.
Government & opposition roles
No government or shadow front-bench post on file for Rachel Gilmour — 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 Rachel Gilmour yet — this only covers what Hear, Hear has fetched so far (see Written questions), not necessarily every question Rachel Gilmour has ever tabled.
Business costs (IPSA)
£201,761.78 paid out to or for Rachel Gilmour across 236 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office costs, accommodation, travel, and bought-in/temporary staffing. 1 claim on file weren’t paid out (rejected, withdrawn, or otherwise not approved).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 Rachel Gilmour’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
Rachel Gilmour has tabled 4 Early Day Motions on file (as primary sponsor), drawing 57 sponsor signatures in total across them. This only counts motions Rachel Gilmour personally tabled — not motions Rachel Gilmour 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
Rachel Gilmour is a listed officer of 3 All-Party Parliamentary Groups on file. See APPGs for the full register and the biggest funders overall.
Biggest declared funder across these groups: Food, Farming & Countryside Commission — about £2,250.50 across 1 group (All-Party Parliamentary Group on Farming).
Read this carefully: funding is declared by the group (often to pay for a secretariat that runs it), not paid to Rachel Gilmour personally, and declaring it is a legal requirement rather than a sign of wrongdoing. This only covers groups Rachel Gilmour 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.
