Departed Members Non-Returned Loan Devices

Please note:

  • The data below represents a snapshot in time. Efforts to retrieve equipment from Members who were defeated or who stood down in 2024 are ongoing with discussions still taking place. This does mean that the figures are dynamic and will change.
  • The asset return process is completed once our service management database has been updated.  Before this, items may be in transit, with our supplier, at our offsite depot or awaiting collection/delivery.
  • Equipment from former Members who are now Members of the House of Lords is being dealt with separately and is not included in this list.
