Capital expenditure applications approved and rejected - and names of MPs

You further clarified, on 6 February 2015, that you would also like the names of MPs who made the application.

IPSA holds the information that you request.

Paragraph 10.19 of the MPs’ Scheme of Business Costs and Expenses states that “for the six months prior to the expected dissolution of Parliament, claims for purchases of office equipment, IT and furniture under Office Costs Expenditure will not be allowed. In exceptional circumstances where such purchases are necessary, prior approval from IPSA will be required”. This includes items like desk chairs as well as laptops and tablet computers, and came into effect for expenditure incurred after 30 September 2014.

As of 2 February 2015, 67 applications have been approved and 10 have not been approved. Please find, at Annex A, a list of MPs who have made applications.

Further details of claims that were approved will be published on our publication website, http://www.parliamentary-standards.org.uk, in due course.
