Notes to Editors:

  1. The data reflects claims processed in the two-month period and should not be interpreted as a trend or pattern.

  2. The full searchable publication website is at: www.theipsa.org.uk

  3. The data is stored on the publication website by the date on which a cost is incurred. But, as a necessity of frequent publication, we add data to the publication website by the month in which a claim is processed.

  4. Repayments are made to IPSA by MPs and third parties for a variety of reasons. These include: refunding items for which an MP no longer wishes to claim; refunding payment card transactions for which an MP does not wish to claim; and where an MP has received a rebate or refund from a third party, for example on their business rates or utility bills.
