The entries can be found in the MP’s Register of Financial Interests, which are there to “provide information about any financial interest which an MP has, or any benefit which they receive, which others might reasonably consider to influence his or her actions or words as an MP”.

The House has agreed 10 types of interest which MPs have to register, including: employment and earnings; donations; UK gifts and hospitality; political visits abroad; foreign gifts and hospitality; land and property; shareholdings; miscellaneous; family members employed and paid through parliamentary expenses, family members lobbying the public sector.

The register is updated every two weeks and Lancashire’s 16 MPs are all included.

Here is a full list of the extra income and gifts received by MPs in Lancashire since the start of 2022 (including the back end of December 2021 due to the fortnightly update overlapping the New Year):
