Voting record
In the 375 recorded divisions where Simon Hoare and at least one other Conservative member were recorded voting, Simon Hoare voted the same way as most voting Conservative members 372 times (99.2%).
This compares Simon Hoare 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: 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.
Meetings recorded in departmental transparency returns
78 meetings recorded under this name as a minister in the quarterly returns of Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities , Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. The name in the department’s file matched exactly one member of the Commons, which is the only reason it is shown here.
Source: each department’s “ministerial gifts, hospitality, travel and meetings” return on GOV.UK (Open Government Licence v3), read by Civometry and listed under ministerial transparency. A recorded meeting establishes that the department published the line; it does not establish what was said or what followed. Every meeting is on the member’s graph page.
