Government & opposition roles

No government or shadow front-bench post on file for Cat Eccles — 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 Cat Eccles yet — this only covers what Hear, Hear has fetched so far (see Written questions), not necessarily every question Cat Eccles has ever tabled.

Business costs (IPSA)

£197,822.33 paid out to or for Cat Eccles across 145 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office costs, accommodation, travel, and bought-in/temporary staffing. 1 claim on file weren’t paid out (rejected, withdrawn, or otherwise not approved).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 Cat Eccles’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.

By category
Staffing — £124,576.13 (8 claims)
Office Costs — £43,857.79 (113 claims)

Absorbent Hygiene Products Manufacturers Association — about £3,750.50, 1 group
Design and Artists Copyright Society — about £3,750.50, 1 group

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