Mark Hunter's quarterly expenses
July 21, 2010 5:41 PM
Dear Residents,
As you may be aware it has been my habit for some time now to publish my Parliamentary expenses. Detailed below are my expenses for the final quarter (January, February and March 2010 of the financial year) along with an explanation of the different expenditures and what the money has been spent on. However, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to write to me at Hillson House, Gillbent Road, Cheadle Hulme, SK8 7LE.
Administrative and Office Expenditure (AOE)
This expenditure allows me to run my offices in Cheadle Hulme and Westminster.
During this quarter I spent £1,596.00 in rent for the office in Cheadle Hulme, £480.00 on telephone and telecommunications costs and £1,166.15 on utilities. I spent £834.00 on parliamentary research, £352.50 on professional fees and £180.95 on consumables. I also spent £100.00 on petty cash, £1,265.47 on stationery, £7.99 on IT equipment - purchasing, and £91.00 on MP's surgery costs. This came to a total of £6,074.06, well within the annual budget.
Staffing Expenditure
This expenditure allows me to employ staff both in the constituency and in Westminster so that I can provide a good service to constituents and represent their interests in Parliament.
My team in the constituency act as a vital first point of call for local people when they contact the office, and often act on my behalf contacting local and national Government departments to resolve problems and investigate issues on behalf of local people. The staff I have there work varying hours and days during the week, but in total I employ approximately two and a half full-time equivalent staff in Cheadle Hulme. I also employ one full time member of staff in Westminster to support me in my work, to effectively raise constituency issues in Parliament through for example contributing to debates and asking questions to Government Ministers, and to do essential research.
In total I spent £23,082.62 on staff during this period, well within the annual budget.
