Melanie Ward MP: money and interests

4 Jul 2026–16 Oct 2026 · year in progress

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.

Donations and support

Reported donations dated 4 Jul 2026–16 Oct 2026 with a unique recipient match to this MP.

What this shows and doesn't show
Electoral Commission donation records, including in-kind support, for the displayed period. A party or accounting-unit donation is not assigned to an MP without a recipient match, and reported support does not establish personal income, influence or wrongdoing. Methodology.

Identity matching and excluded recipients

Concentration calculation and source groups

Donor groups are sorted by reported value solely for this calculation. Name-only groups are not confirmed identities.

    View desktop donation flow (first 0 displayed records)View as list
    What this shows and doesn't show
    Widths compare the non-negative values of the displayed subset only. The flow connects the reported donor and recipient directly; an accounting unit is a recipient label, not evidence of an onward transfer. Methodology.

      No uniquely matched donation records in this period.
