Question

To ask the hon. Member for Warrington North, representing the Speaker's Committee for the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority, what information he holds on the total amount claimed by hon. Members for postage costs through IPSA in each year since 2015.

The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) has provided the total aggregated spend on postage costs across all MPs in the table below.

The figures are not directly comparable as the categorisation of spending has been simplified in the years since 2015 and can include the cost of other services such as stationery, telephone services, and courier services.

It should also be noted that the House of Commons provides MPs with an annual stationery budget. As IPSA does not administer this budget, the figures above do not include any spending on postage by MPs from the House of Commons stationery budget.
