WESTMINSTER ACCOUNTS is a searchable database created by Sky News and Tortoise (a think-tank on news and media) that gathers information on external sources of finance entering British politics. By implication, these sources of finance reveal how Parliament, MPs, and politics are influenced by financial backers.
The database covers MP’s financial interests, donations to political parties and payments to all-party parliamentary groups.
Have a look at Westminster Accounts and see how your MP fares! We have taken a look at Graham Stuart MP and the Hull MPs. It doesn’t include an MP’s annual base salary (currently £84,144) or any additional payments made to government ministers and MPs with other extra responsibilities. It is a fascinating insight into the hitherto hidden financing of British politics.
