I own one property in Bassetlaw and no others. I rent accommodation in London. Most of my travel is by train, between Retford and London. I do not rent property or office space from any one with connections to me or my family. Rental charges for my constituency office and my flat are at normal market rates. Find out more here.

Other costs include in London, laundry, food and household utilities, very occasional capital items (eg last year filing boxes) and telephone.

Office costs in Worksop include telephone, alarm systems, insurance plus the usual office costs. Find out more here.

My Worksop office is staffed 5 days a week throughout the year, with a shutdown between Christmas and New Year and between one and two weeks in August. My staff are allowed the day off after bank holidays as recompense for their long hours and this is a contractual right. My office is on occasion also open on Saturdays and less frequently on Sundays. Find out more here.

All my staff are paid the appropriate Parliamentary rates. Find out more here.
