About the project

Independent, neutral and built around public records.

Fawkes & Figures is an independently developed civic-information app focused on making published UK House of Commons MP staffing and business-cost information easier to explore.

What Fawkes & Figures does

The app lets users search by postcode, select a financial year, browse national spending tables, view MP profiles, explore spending categories and inspect individual published claim information where available.

Neutral presentation

The purpose of Fawkes & Figures is informational. It does not determine whether expenditure was appropriate and does not allege wrongdoing.

Important context Expense claims can reflect legitimate parliamentary work. Figures should be reviewed in context.

Independence

Fawkes & Figures does not represent, and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, authorised by, or operated on behalf of the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA), UK Parliament, the UK Government, any government department, or any political party.

Current scope

The current app focuses on Members of the UK House of Commons. The official source websites remain authoritative and should be used to verify information and obtain the latest official records.
