Your question was clear enough to me. I don't have the answer though. For sure this info is not typically (if ever?) formally posted online. I'm sure your UKIP obsessed party will have something to say if UKIP spent more then them. I'm sure they'll have nothing to say if UKIP, Lab or Green spent less. So if you contact your candidate who will now or then have this info I hope you will post the info about all the spending by all the candidates here without a partisan or UKIP obsessed heading, at least.

Allowing for national profile, press and TV bias, we have to compare ourselves with the Greens and BNP for expenditure. We have not done well.

The Green candidate fought the seat before and forught Witney before that. He used to live in Oxford and was well known comparatively. The Green did his groundwork over several years and it shows in the result. Greens also fight local elections and have council seats in Oxford City and County. They write regularly in local newspapers.

It shows how a local organisation on the ground can raise the profile.

UKIP Henley had to be disbanded. The Chairman had shared a platform with BNP and it was reported locally. We would have been portrayed as synonymous with the BNP and lost votes.
