Every register entry that names Mr Mark Francois, and how each was tied to them

Employment and earnings

  • Writing a book

Visits outside the UK

  • International visit to United States between 21 April 2026 and 25 April 2026 (registered 5 May 2026)
  • International visit to Ukraine between 19 February 2026 and 25 February 2026 (registered 18 March 2026)

Voting record

In the 330 recorded divisions where Mr Mark Francois and at least one other Conservative member were recorded voting, Mr Mark Francois voted the same way as most voting Conservative members 330 times (100.0%).

This compares Mr Mark Francois with other members of their own party who were recorded voting in the same division. It is not a measure of loyalty to a whip: Civometry holds no whipping records, so it cannot say which votes were whipped, and voting differently from party colleagues is not described here as a rebellion. Members not recorded in a division are excluded from the comparison rather than counted, because an absence from a division list is not a vote and does not mean the member was absent from the House.

Donations reported to the Electoral Commission

The register holds no donations reported against this name. Donations are matched on the regulated entity name exactly as the Electoral Commission publishes it; a member who reports under a different form of their name will not match here, and no similar name is substituted.

Source: Electoral Commission register of donations. Reporting thresholds apply, so this is not every sum given. A donation is a lawful, reported transaction; its presence here says nothing about why it was made and nothing about anything that followed it.

Source: IPSA, MP staffing and business costs (Open Government Licence v3), joined on IPSA’s Parliamentary ID, which is Parliament’s member id. These are the running costs of an MP’s office and staff, claimed within IPSA’s rules and paid by IPSA; they are not the member’s salary and not personal income. A claim is a claim, not a finding. Staffing costs are published by IPSA in aggregate categories, not per employee.
