My office handles a huge caseload geared towards helping constituents and this work is a vital part of my job as an MP.

All expenditure through my allowances is incurred through serving my constituents and for no other reason. I seek to minimise expenditure where possible by, for example, using volunteers to distribute regular newsletters, surveys and local updates to constituents.

Details of my Parliamentary Allowances for the previous six years are given in the table below. I have now made more detailed information available which you can get to by clicking the underlined link above.

Background information can also be found on the Parliamentary Website here: Allowances
