New data has revealed the number of donations made to the Wyre Forest MP in the last 12 months.
MPs are required to declare their financial interests within 28 days of the start of a new Parliament.
They must also disclose any gifts or benefits they receive that could be reasonably considered to influence what they say or do as MPs.
Newly-elected MPs must disclose any relevant financial interests from the year before their election.
The figures show Wyre Forest MP Mark Garnier received £2,000 in donations and £629 in gifts and benefits over the last year.
In response to the data, Mark Garnier said: "Political donations are, of course, all part of the discourse of politics and all politicians and political parties are funded by donations from all sorts of areas.
"Gifts tend to come from people keen to engage with politicians and it is quite right that all financial and non-financial events are fully disclosed, in the sake of transparency."
In total, 498 MPs reported the donations that they received. Labour MPs received the highest amount with a total of £9.3 million, followed by the Liberal Democrats with £3.2 million, and the Conservatives with £1.7 million.
Data for how much MPs earned from paid employment was also included in the release for relevant MPs.
