🏛️ Enriched Election Register

This is an enriched version of the post-election September 2024 register of members' interests for any donations/support or gifts declared.

We have worked with a group of volunteers to add additional context to the register, including:
  • Adding short descriptions/urls of organisations
  • Grouping organisations into categories
  • Identifying donors who have given to multiple MPs

This is an experiment in new ways of summarising, enhancing and displaying the register. View the standard version of the register.

Read our Beyond Transparency report for more information about the register and our recommendations for improving it.


As part of this project we have also highlighted a set of interests related to industries with low public support (gambling and oil/gas), or the governments of not free countries.

This MP does not have any highlighted interests on that page.


If this was useful to you, you've noticed a problem, or have other suggestions, please fill out our feedback survey.

💳 Donations and other support (including loans) for activities as an MP

Summary

Donations need to be declared if they are more than £1,500 in value (or if multiple donations of over £500 from the same source add up to more than £1,500)

As such, we can only show the breakdown of donations we know about. One of our recommendations is that MPs should declare an aggregate summary of donations below the threshold to fill in the context of large donations.


As of the September 2024 register, Daisy Cooper had declared 11 donations of money or support.

Of these, £3.5k was in kind, and £71.5k was cash.

£50k came from private individuals, and £25k came from other sources.

£26.5k came from private individuals unique to this MP and £23.5k came from private individuals who had also given to other MPs.

🎁 Gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources

Summary

Donations need to be declared if they are more than £300 in value (or are multiple benefits that add up to £300).

One of our recommendations is to adopt a disclosure threshold in line with wider public sector / civil service thresholds (e.g. £20), and to consult and adopt new rules and guidance on when MPs should not accept gifts.


As of the September 2024 register Daisy Cooper had declared 13 gifts.

Of these, £4.7k was in kind, and £0 was cash.

In-kind gifts are gifts of goods or services, rather than cash.

£0 came from private individuals, and £4.7k came from other sources.
