Bulletin, 16 May (Bi-monthly data publication – MP Team Report – Proxy access)

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week, and we wanted to take the opportunity to remind you of the support available from the Wellbeing budget. You can also access various services via the Health and Wellbeing page on the parliamentary intranet.

This week’s bulletin contains information about:

• MPs’ business costs publication

• MP Team Report – Proxy access

MPs' business costs publication

Today, IPSA published details of all claims processed in the period from 1 December 2023 to 31 January 2024.

You can read the press release on our website. We routinely publish these details so members of the public can have transparency over MPs’ business costs.

The next publication is due on Thursday 11 July 2024.

For more information, visit MPs’ staffing and business costs.

MP Team Report – Proxy access

The MP Team Report – Proxy access in IPSA Online is now available for proxies under category D to view.

It lists all current staff employed by an individual MP and each staff member’s main terms and conditions.

The report is updated with changes as soon as they are processed on the payroll system and can be used to check whether any changes you have requested are complete.

This means, for example, you can use the report to check whether a new starter has been added to the system, or if an increase to the hours of a current staff member has been processed.

For more information on how to run the report, visit Running the MP Team Report – Proxy access. You can run the report at any time.
