@Mr Hawkes

After extensive searching I cannot answer your question but perhaps Ms Anderson will read her local forum and come on to answer it personally...

However I did find some more interesting information regarding the Unions'
donations to MPs:

"More than 200 Labour or suspended Labour MPs received more than £2m in donations and support from trade unions in the 12 months before the general election, LabourList analysis shows.

LabourList has compiled a list showing which unions backed which MPs, giving potential insights into their politics and interests.
According to Parliament’s register of members’ financial interests, 212 MPs received support from trade unions, with the majority given to constituency Labour parties, with some specifically to cover printing, postage or office costs.

Each MP that received support from trade unions was donated an average of £9,479.

Union donations to Cabinet ministers

Of the members of the Cabinet, 11 of the 21 who sit in the House of Commons received support from trade unions, namely Louise Haigh, John Healy, Peter Kyle, Ed Miliband, Ian Murray, Lisa Nandy, Bridget Phillipson, Angela Rayner, Steve Reed, Jonathan Reynolds, Jo Stevens and Wes Streeting.

Transport Secretary Louise Haigh received the largest amount of support from trade unions, with a single £10,000 donation from Unite.
