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

Business costs (IPSA)

£214,464.93 paid out to or for Darren Paffey across 232 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 Darren Paffey’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.

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