Written questions to government
No written questions on file for Zöe Franklin yet — this only covers what Hear, Hear has fetched so far (see Written questions), not necessarily every question Zöe Franklin has ever tabled.
Business costs (IPSA)
£154,735.73 paid out to or for Zöe Franklin across 157 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 Zöe Franklin’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
Zöe Franklin has tabled 7 Early Day Motions on file (as primary sponsor), drawing 166 sponsor signatures in total across them. This only counts motions Zöe Franklin personally tabled — not motions Zöe Franklin 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
Zöe Franklin is a listed officer of 5 All-Party Parliamentary Groups on file. See APPGs for the full register and the biggest funders overall.
Biggest declared funder across these groups: The Local Government Information Unit — about £11,250.50 across 1 group (All-Party Parliamentary Group on Local Government).
Read this carefully: funding is declared by the group (often to pay for a secretariat that runs it), not paid to Zöe Franklin personally, and declaring it is a legal requirement rather than a sign of wrongdoing. This only covers groups Zöe Franklin 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.
