Expense Claims

Before the election, Andrew promised to publish the claims he makes for personal and office expenses incurs as Member of Parliament.

Below, you will find a list of the claims Andrew has made since he was elected. You can sort the list by clicking on the column headings or click on the item to see more details. You can also choose a category from the drop-down list to just see claims for that kind of expenditure.

A summary of the amount spent on staff salaries will be added to this list at the end of every financal year. However, Andrew does not employ any relatives.

Because of different way in which these costs are paid and invoiced, some of the dates above will refer to the date of the order, some to the date of the claim and some to the date of the journey / when the service was used.

All expenses will also be published by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) at http://www.parliamentary-standards.org.uk/

The timetable for the reports being published by IPSA is:
Thursday 2 June – Claims processed in January and February 2011

Thursday 1 September – Claims processed in April and May 2011

Thursday 3 November – Claims processed in June and July 2011

If, having read the official reports published by IPSA, you think we have missed something off the claims listed on this report, please tell us and we will put it right as quickly as possible.
