Written questions to government
No written questions on file for Ben Maguire yet — this only covers what Hear, Hear has fetched so far (see Written questions), not necessarily every question Ben Maguire has ever tabled.
Business costs (IPSA)
£190,242.89 paid out to or for Ben Maguire across 267 claims — combining every financial year on file, not just the current one — covering office costs, accommodation, travel, and bought-in/temporary staffing. 4 claims on file weren’t paid out (rejected, withdrawn, or otherwise not approved). This does not include Ben Maguire’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
Ben Maguire has tabled 4 Early Day Motions on file (as primary sponsor), drawing 104 sponsor signatures in total across them. This only counts motions Ben Maguire personally tabled — not motions Ben Maguire 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
Ben Maguire is a listed officer of 2 All-Party Parliamentary Groups on file. See APPGs for the full register and the biggest funders overall.
Biggest declared funder across these groups: Dairy UK — about £2,250.50 across 1 group (All-Party Parliamentary Group for Dairy).
Read this carefully: funding is declared by the group (often to pay for a secretariat that runs it), not paid to Ben Maguire personally, and declaring it is a legal requirement rather than a sign of wrongdoing. This only covers groups Ben Maguire 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.
