Melanie Ward MP: money and interests

4 Jul 2024–3 Jul 2025

How these years work

Our reporting years run from 4 July to 3 July, starting with the 2024 general election. They are not official parliamentary sessions. Office costs keep IPSA’s April–March financial years. Records may cover only part of a year; a missing record does not mean no work was done.

Jobs, earnings, gifts and other interests reported by this MP. This list uses the recorded registration date, or publication date when no registration date is supplied, within the selected period. It is not a total of personal income or a complete year-end register.

What this shows and doesn't show

Concentration calculation and source groups
