SourceIPSA · Individual MP claims published quarterly
MethodEach claim is a line in the public CSV. Categories follow the IPSA scheme.
Median MPThe median of every MP’s total in that category this financial year, among MPs who claim it; “vs median” is this MP’s total ÷ that median (1.0× = exactly typical).
CaveatTotal paid is net of repayments and rejections. Some claims span multiple cost types.
