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

Business costs (IPSA)

£236,343.82 paid out to or for Anna Sabine across 292 claims — combining every financial year on file, not just the current one — covering office costs, accommodation, travel, and bought-in/temporary staffing.

Local Government Association — about £15,750.50, 1 group

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