Top single-MP earners (all-time, register payments)
Total declared monetary entries in the Commons Register of Members' Financial Interests (or Lords equivalent) per individual.

Tiny declared payment ↔ huge UK contract
Companies that declared some register payment to an MP and also won material UK government contracts. Sorted by contract size — the asymmetry between these two columns is the lead worth chasing. Cap-and-spread totals (a multi-supplier framework worth £100m with 5 suppliers contributes £20m here per supplier).

Personal interest ↔ ministerial meeting overlap
Ministers who personally declared an interest in a firm under the quarterly List of Ministers' Interests AND have met that same firm in their ministerial role. The Code requires conflicts to be "managed", not avoided — these are starting points to ask how.
| Minister | Firm | Interest category | Met | Disclosure |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Emma Reynolds | THECITYUK | Any other relevant interests | 3 | “Managing Director, TheCityUK” |
| Georgia Gould | LOCAL GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION | Any other relevant interests | 3 | “Deputy Chair, Local Government Association” |
| Lord Vallance of Balham Lord | ROYAL SOCIETY | Any other relevant interests | 3 | “Fellow, Royal Society” |
| Lord Vallance of Balham Lord | TONY BLAIR INSTITUTE | Any other relevant interests | 1 | “Strategic Counsellor, Tony Blair Institute” |
Most-met ministers (by record count)
Total cache_minister_record entries per minister — meetings, gifts, hospitality and travel combined. A "bandwidth" view: who's spending the most disclosed time with external organisations. Departmental footprint (DSIT vs DEFRA) skews this — bigger portfolios attract more lobbying.
