Arundel and Southdowns MP Andrew Griffith's extra earnings revealed following Sky News and Tortoise Media investigation

Data shows that Mr Griffith, has received approximately £18,750 in payments, donations, gifts, or other benefits since the end of 2019.

The largest of these is a gift worth £6,600 from Satellite Applications Catapult, a satellite company based in Didcot, Oxfordshire. He also received a donation of £5,000 from Joseph Bamford, £2,000 from James Manktelow, £2,000 from Chichester Conservative dining club, Churchill Luncheon Club, £1,600 from Mosaic Research Management, £400 from Cowdray Park Polo Club, £300 from the Goodwood Estate Company, another £300 from the Goodwood Estate Company, £200 from the Goodwood Estate Company, and £200 from Cowdray Park Polo Club.

Mr Griffith suggested that the article produced by Sky News and Tortoise Media was ‘misleading’ and said he falls into the bottom 4 per cent of MPs registered funds.

Gillian Keegan, MP for neighbouring Chichester received £29,860 for the same period.

Andrew Griffith said: “I register any donations I receive with the Parliamentary Authorities in line with the guidelines set out for Members of Parliament, and my donations fall well below the average amount registered among other MPs.

“The article is misleading in implying I personally benefitted: the largest entry reported in relation to Satellite Applications Catapult was an official and working visit with the UK Parliamentary Space Committee to support this important and growing U.K. industry which was also attended by a number of MPs including those from opposition parties.

“Excluding this cross-party visit, I register 369th out of all 650 MPs and fall into the bottom 4% of all funds registered.

“I have no outside employment, second jobs or consultancies. Being the MP for Arundel and South Downs is my only job and I do not draw a ministerial salary.”

Conservatives have donations, gifts, and other payments and benefits from 737 sources worth at least £76 million, the data says.

Former prime minister Theresa May was listed as the top earner outside her parliamentary salary with £2,550,876 being declared.
