Where can the full Declassified UK list of named MPs and amounts be accessed and how was it compiled?
Executive summary
The definitive public source for MPs’ declared financial interests is the UK Parliament’s Register of Members’ Financial Interests, which can be viewed online including current and previous versions [1]; comprehensive lists of MPs themselves are published on the Parliament site and by civic platforms such as TheyWorkForYou and mySociety [2] [3] [4] [5]. Reporting that claims a separate “Declassified UK list of named MPs and amounts” is not documented in the supplied sources, so confirmation of its location or provenance cannot be verified from the materials provided (p1_s1–[2]5).
1. Where to find the primary public data on MPs’ declared income and benefits
The authoritative public repository for what MPs must declare is the Register of Members’ Financial Interests hosted on the parliamentary website, which allows users to access current and archived versions of MPs’ financial declarations; that register is the baseline dataset journalists and researchers use when identifying named MPs and monetary figures [1]. For simple lists of which MPs are serving and basic contact or biographical details, the Parliament members pages list all Commons members and allow filtering by name, party and constituency, and are maintained as an official directory [2] [3].
2. Where journalistic aggregations and civic tech copies often come from
Independent civic platforms and data projects mirror or republish parliamentary information to make it more searchable: TheyWorkForYou provides MP profiles, voting records and searchable data derived from parliamentary proceedings, while mySociety offers a consolidated list of MPs and links to their recent activity—tools frequently used to cross-check names against registers [4] [5]. Specialist compendia and guides such as the w4mp resource point researchers toward the Parliament lists and to downloadable contact datasets where available, noting updates and where bulk exports can be obtained [6] [7].
3. How a list of “named MPs and amounts” would typically be compiled
A reproducible list that pairs MPs’ names with monetary amounts would normally be compiled by extracting entries from the Register of Members’ Financial Interests and matching them to the canonical list of sitting MPs; the Parliamentary register explicitly supports viewing current and previous versions, which is essential for time-stamped monetary claims [1]. For historical or more structured datasets, projects such as Wikidata’s British Politicians effort collect structured metadata on MPs — including service dates and party affiliations — which can be joined to financial-declaration extracts to build sortable lists [8].
4. What the supplied reporting does and does not show about a Declassified UK dataset
None of the supplied sources contain or point to a published Declassified UK dataset of named MPs and amounts; the documentation available points to the parliamentary register and civic mirrors as primary sources but does not document an independently released Declassified UK list, so the provenance, methodology and hosting of any such Declassified compilation cannot be corroborated from these materials (p1_s1–[2]5). That absence means claims about how Declassified UK compiled a specific list — for example, whether it used plain register extracts, data cleaning, FOI requests, leaks or additional corporate records — are not confirmable from the sources provided [1] [8].
5. How to verify or reproduce such a list if it exists
To verify a published list or to reproduce it, the transparent route is to start with the parliamentary Register of Members’ Financial Interests (downloadable through the members’ interests publications) and the official MPs list, then reconcile entries by MP identifier and date to ensure amounts and timeframes match; this is the standard method indicated by the Parliament’s publications system and by civic data projects that collate MP records [1] [2] [3]. Where journalists or watchdogs assert additional findings beyond the register, best practice is to demand documentation of sources and methods because the supplied references here do not supply a separate Declassified dataset to inspect [1].
6. Bottom line and limitations of this report
The full, official trail for named MPs and monetary declarations is the Register of Members’ Financial Interests and the Parliament members pages; independent lists and aggregations normally derive from those sources or from structured datasets such as Wikidata [1] [2] [8]. The supplied material does not contain or cite a Declassified UK-hosted list, so any claim that such a list exists, where it is hosted, or exactly how Declassified UK compiled it cannot be confirmed on the basis of the reporting provided (p1_s1–[2]5).
