Written questions to government
No written questions on file for David Reed yet — this only covers what Hear, Hear has fetched so far (see Written questions), not necessarily every question David Reed has ever tabled.
Business costs (IPSA)
£231,002.36 paid out to or for David Reed across 216 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 David Reed’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
No Early Day Motions on file as tabled by David Reed — this only covers motions tabled within Hear, Hear’s current tracking window (see Early Day Motions), not necessarily David Reed’s full record.
All-Party Parliamentary Groups
David Reed is a listed officer of 4 All-Party Parliamentary Groups on file. See APPGs for the full register and the biggest funders overall.
Biggest declared funder across these groups: iNHouse Communications — about £57,750.50 across 1 group (All-Party Parliamentary Group for Data Centres).
Read this carefully: funding is declared by the group (often to pay for a secretariat that runs it), not paid to David Reed personally, and declaring it is a legal requirement rather than a sign of wrongdoing. This only covers groups David Reed 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.
