Staffing is the salaries of the MP's constituency and Westminster staff. Office covers running a constituency office. Accommodation is for MPs from outside London who need a second home. Travel depends largely on how far the constituency is from Westminster. The figures do not show whether any cost was proper, which IPSA checks before paying.
