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.

Business costs (IPSA)

£209,805.04 paid out to or for Dr Al Pinkerton across 173 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 Dr Al Pinkerton’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

Dr Al Pinkerton has tabled 11 Early Day Motions on file (as primary sponsor), drawing 392 sponsor signatures in total across them.

See Early Day Motions for what this does and doesn’t cover.

All-Party Parliamentary Groups

Dr Al Pinkerton is a listed officer of 4 All-Party Parliamentary Groups on file. See APPGs for the full register and the biggest funders overall.

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