We do not publish details of individual claims from the security budget, just the totals claimed by all MPs each financial year.
Security assistance can be claimed for additional security measures that enable MPs to carry out their parliamentary work.
A standard package of measures, recommended by security advisers and police, is available to all MPs.
MPs may also claim for enhanced measures that go above and beyond these, upon police recommendation.
