Paul Foster MP: office costs

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.

These are business costs for staff and running an MP’s office, not personal pay. IPSA uses a different calendar: 1 April–31 March.

101 published records · newest first. Office costs fund parliamentary work; they are not personal income.
